WASHINGTON (JTA) — Turkey’s prime minister says his country will urge the U.N. Security Council to discuss a report detailing war crimes during Israel’s Gaza operation.

The report, compiled for the United Nations by a commission led by former South African jurist Richard Goldstone, accuses Israel and Hamas of war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity during the December-January war in the Gaza Strip.
