Following the dissolution of the UN investigation committee, the United Nations Security Council has engaged in consultations regarding the actions that should be taken in response to the Israeli army's actions in the Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin. These discussions have become necessary as representatives of the Security Council member states were unable to reach an agreement on Thursday regarding the reaction that should be expressed towards Israel's decision not to cooperate with the investigation committee. The Palestinian observer at the UN Security Council stated that Israel has committed war crimes in Jenin. The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations rejected the Palestinian claims that a massacre occurred in the Palestinian refugee camp. Additionally, Human Rights Watch published a report yesterday stating that no evidence of a massacre has been found, but Israeli soldiers have committed war crimes in Jenin.
