Netanyahu: Looking for War Crimes? Try Hamas, ISIS

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Rockets from the Gaza Strip followed by targeted Israeli airstrikes disturbed the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel overnight, but a new truce is still holding.

Just before midnight, negotiators extended the ceasefire for another five days, marking the longest pause in the fighting since the start of the IDF's Operation Protective Edge last month.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angrily rejected a U.N. investigation of alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

In a nationwide address, Netanyahu accused the U.N. Human Rights Council of giving legitimacy to terror groups like Hamas and ISIS.     

"The U.N. Human Rights Council gives legitimacy to murderous terrorist organizations such as Hamas and ISIS," Netanyahu said.

"Instead of inquiring into the massacres that [President Bashar] Assad is perpetrating against the Syrian people or that ISIS [Islamic State of Iraq and Syria] is perpetrating against the Kurds, the U.N. has decided to come and check Israel -- the only democracy in the Middle East, a democracy that is acting legitimately to defend its citizens against murderous terrorism," he said.

"They should visit Damascus, Baghdad and Tripoli; they should go see ISIS, the Syrian army and Hamas -- there they will find war crimes. Not here," Netanyahu concluded.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is on his fourth visit to Israel this week, this time to stand in solidarity with the fight against terrorism. Cuomo said all New Yorkers stand with the Jewish state in its battle against terrorism.

"We stand in solidarity with Israel," the governor said. "The fight that you fight is the fight against terror. Unfortunately in New York, we've had a rude awakening to the pain and suffering that terror can cause in 9/11. So we have a special sensitivity in our hearts for what you're going through now."
