**The Palestinian Authority has withdrawn its support from a UN resolution endorsing a UN report into the Gaza conflict, reports say.**The reports, quoting diplomats, say the Palestinian decision was made under strong pressure from the United States.
The report, written for UN’s Human Rights Council by Richard Goldstone accuses Israel and Hamas of war crimes.
On Thursday Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the report’s endorsement would deal “a fatal blow” to peace.
The 574-page UN Human Rights Council report accused both the Israeli army and Palestinian militants of deliberately terrorising and killing civilians on the other side.
It urged the UN Security Council to refer allegations to the International Criminal Court (ICC) if either side failed to investigate and prosecute suspects.
The report has been widely praised by human rights groups, but Israeli allies like the US have criticised its conclusions.
Israeli military action destroyed thousands of homes, hundreds of factories and 80 official buildings.
Palestinians and human rights groups say more than 1,400 people were killed in the violence between 27 December 2008 and 16 January 2009, more than half of them civilians.
Israel puts the number of deaths at 1,166 - fewer than 300 of them civilians. Three Israeli civilians and 10 Israeli soldiers were also killed.
