UN delays fact-finding mission to Jenin

The United Nations has agreed to delay its fact-finding mission to the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank after Israel objected to the make-up of the three-man delegation.

Israel’s UN Ambassador, Yehunda Lancry, said Israel wants more military and counter-terrorism experts added to the team, assurances that it would confine its activities to Jenin and a commitment to also investigate activities by Palestinian militants in the camp.
