Israel rejected the findings of a UN probe released Thursday into its soldiers' response to Gaza unrest that began in March last year, calling it "hostile, deceitful and biased."
"No institution can negate Israel's right to self-defence and its duty to defend its residents and borders from violent attacks," he added, labelling it "the theatre of the absurd."
Katz said that those "pushing the residents of Gaza to the fences, including women and children, is Hamas, an organisation whose declared goal is destroying the state of Israel, and is the one to bear the responsibility."
