UN picks American to lead investigation into Gaza protest killings
A former senior US legal official, David Crane, will lead a UN investigation into violence in Gaza, the United Nations said on Wednesday.
At least 140 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army in what it has called border protection. One Israeli soldier has been killed during the weekly protests that began on March 30.
The UN Human Rights Council voted in May to set up the probe into the killings, to the fury of Israel, which said it was being demonized.
An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman on Wednesday declined immediate comment.
