JNS.org – Israeli State Comptroller Yosef Shapira on Thursday began his official review this summer’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip. The review will scrutinize the decision-making process in the government and the Israel Defense Forces throughout the 50-day operation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Shapira about the matter on Thursday.

The State Comptroller’s Office announced the review of the Gaza campaign in August, saying it would follow guidelines set by Israel’s High Court of Justice as well as norms of international law.
