Richard Goldstone, a South African judge who headed a UN inquiry into Israel’s three-week war on Gaza two years ago, recanted a key finding of his original report. He says that he now believes Israel did not intentionally target civilians “as a matter of policy”. Israeli media responded to Goldstone's article with jubilation.
