2014年CRI 台湾空难致48人死亡 以色列总理拒绝战争罪指控

 

48 people are dead following a plane crash last night in Taiwan.

The TransAsia flight hit a residential¹ building while attempting to make a landing amid bad weather.

The plane was carrying 54 passengers and four crew members on a flight from Kaohsiung to the Penghu Islands of Taiwan's west coast when it crashed.

Ten onboard the plane have managed to survive, though the extent of their injuries remains² unknown.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is blasting a UN decision to launch a possible war crimes investigation³ in connection with the Israeli incursion into Gaza.

Describing the creation of an inquiry⁴ committee by UN's Human Rights Coucil as a "travesty," Netanyahu says the decision should be rejected by people everywhere.

At the same time, Netanyahu is calling on the UN council to investigate Hamas, claiming the Palestinian group has committed "a double war crime" by both firing rockets into Israel and using Palestinian civilians⁵ as human shields.
