Israel has dismissed the findings as politically motivated, but many commentators have warned that the credibility of the UN body retss on its willingness to act.
Palestinians, however, simply hope taht any measures taken by the council will prove to be the first step towards getting justice for the Gazans who suffered during the conflict.
Sherine Tadros reports from Gaza City.
