OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: U.S. jurist Mary McGowan Davis, who headed the independent United Nations probe into the events of last summer's war in Gaza, told Haaretz in an interview that the main message committee members wanted to transmit is that Israel must reexamine its policy of using its military might, because it led to unprecedented destruction in Gaza and to the killing of about 1,500 innocent civilians.
"We wanted to make a strong stand that the whole use of explosive weapons in densely populated neighborhoods is problematic and that the policy needs to change," she emphasized.
