Abbas is doing his best to make amends for his craven support of Israel/US blocking tactics on Goldstone. So now Abbas tells us it was just being delayed to garner more support - which is what was said by his allies when the news first broke. In fact abbas tried to blame 'other countries' on the council for the delay but did not name the countries. Not very convincing performance by Abbas. He has now completed his u-turn by demanding that the UN Human Rights Council bring forward discussion of the report and a vote be taken to back it.
Abbas is now clearly trying to repair the damage by hoping to appear a bit more like a Palestinian leader than the lapdog of Netanyahu. So with this in mind Abbas declares that there can be no peace as long as Jerusalem is occupied. While we can all applaud such sentiment it is hard to take him seriously given that he recently refused to hold a summit of Arab leaders to organise the defence of the al-Aqsa mosque.
Despite Abbas's attempted sabotage the Goldstone the is implications of the report are still reverberating around the world.
The UK ambassador to the UN says the he supports the report, according to Haaretz.

Israeli officials on Sunday criticized the British Ambassador to the United Nations John Sawers for backing a controversial United Nations report into Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza last winter, saying that such support could backfire when Britain tries to conduct its own war on terror.Israel seems to forget that the UK is a member of the security council and will obviously veto any attempt to bring war crimes charges against it. The extent of Israel's isolation is especially evident when countries friendly to the zionist regime, such as the UK, consider adopting a report that clearly accuses it of war crimes.
