Hamas’ spokesman in Gaza, Fawzi Barhoum, said that forming an Israeli investigation committee to probe the last Israeli war on Gaza “aims at hiding the truth and the facts of committing war crimes.” He added that “It is both irrational and unacceptable that the criminal himself would be the judge in an investigation.” Barhoum went on to call for a fair and transparent investigation by an international legal panel whose members will come to Gaza to listen to witnesses, victims, and their families.
