(MFA) reftel points regarding USG concerns about the
Goldstone report released on September 15 and scheduled for
discussion in the UN General Assembly starting November 4.

reservations about human rights resolutions of any type.

peace process, and wants to avoid scrutiny of its human
rights record.
