Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos met with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman soon after his arrival in Jerusalem on Monday. Lieberman gave him the report – “Gaza Operation Investigations: Update” – that Israel presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday that dealt with some of the war crimes allegations that appeared in the Goldstone Report.

Spain abstained in the UN General Assembly vote last year that endorsed the report.

“Israel is a democratic country that protects its citizens according to international law,” Lieberman said. “The IDF is the most moral army in the world, and this is manifest precisely in the way it deals with the very worst terrorists, when the IDF does everything possible not to harm innocent civilians whom Hamas uses as human shields.”
