GENEVA, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The U.N. Human Rights Council on Thursday demanded Israel lift its week-long blockade of Gaza, rebuking the Jewish state for the third time for violations in the Palestinian territories since the forum was set up in 2006. ...
Delegations from the United States and Israel, which both have observer status at the council, boycotted the two-day session, diplomats said.
Most of those abstaining from the vote were Western states, including France, Germany and Britain. China and Russia backed the resolution, while Canada was the lone vote against it.
