<div id="divLead"><em>Britain  has pledged its support for the UN Goldstone Report, which accuses the  Israeli regime of committing war crimes in the 2008- 2009 Gaza war. </em></div>
<p>The UK government&#8217;s pledge of support comes as the US daily  Washington Post reported on Friday that South African judge Richard  Goldstone has retracted his findings about the Israelis deliberate act  in targeting civilians during the 22-day war on the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Goldstone, himself, told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the  Washington Post op-ed piece was not his work, denying the report  altogether.</p>
<p>South African judge also denied the Israeli regime Interior Minister  Eli Yishai&#8217;s claim that he had planned to work to nullify his report on  the Israeli regime&#8217;s atrocities during the 2009 invasion of Gaza.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the UK Foreign Office reaffirmed its continued support  for investigations into the invasion, saying that it did not want to see  the withdrawal of the Goldstone Report from the United Nations.</p>
<p>&#8220;Justice Goldstone has not made such a call, and he has not  elaborated on his views surrounding the various other allegations  contained in the report, allegations which we firmly believe require  serious follow-up by the parties to the conflict,&#8221; a Foreign Office  spokesman said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Allegations of breaches of International Humanitarian Law made  against all parties to the Gaza conflict are not limited to the  Goldstone report and have arisen from certain other credible  organizations.  We firmly believe that any and all such allegations must  be met with credible and independent investigations by the parties to  the conflict,&#8221; the spokesman added.</p>
<p>The UN Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, chaired by Richard  Goldstone, submitted its report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva  in September 2009. The report suggested that the Israeli regime has  committed war crimes in its invasion of Gaza.</p>
