United Nations, June 10 (RHC)-- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has left Israel off a list of countries which kill or injure children during conflicts. The decision defies the recommendation of a UN special envoy and follows intense pressure from Israel and the United States.
It comes despite the U.N.'s conclusion last summer's Israeli assault on Gaza killed about 540 Palestinian children, making it the third deadliest conflict for children included in the report, after Afghanistan and Iraq, and ahead of Syria.
