MOSCOW, (PIC)– The Israeli opposition leader, Tzipi Livni, said that
the Israeli government was disappointed that Russia voted in favour
of the Goldstone Report at the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva.

She added that it was not important now to discuss the reasons behind
voting in favour of the report but what is important is to prevent the
report being discussed further and any resolutions being issued by the
UN Security Council or the International Criminal Court in this regard.

The Russian news agency, Ria Novosti reported on Friday that Livni
made these comments during an interview with the Moscow-based Russian
newspaper "kommersant".

Novosti added that Livni was on a short visit to Russia and that
her discussions with Russian officials covered the Goldstone Report,
the Iranian issue and the Middle East peace process.
