Bulgaria has voted against a resolution in the UN Human Rights Council calling for a ban on arms sales to Israel because of the war in the Gaza Strip. The document also calls for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza, BNR "Horizon" reported.
