'There is simply no reason to believe that Israel will receive reasonable... treatment'

Israel’s foreign ministry announced on Thursday that the country will not cooperate with a United Nations inquiry into it's 2021 Gaza conflict, citing partiality against the state by probe officials.

A senior official from Israel additionally disclosed to Walla! NEWS that members of the probe would not be permitted entrance into the country, or to the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Meirav Eilon Shahar, Israel’s representative to the UN in Geneva, issued a letter from the state’s foreign ministry to the international body, and charged that members of the inquiry are biased against Israel.

The probe, which is being led by ex-human rights chief Navi Pillay, includes two other members - Chris Sidoti and Miloon Kothari.
