The head of UN inquiry into the hostilities between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has pledged to resign due to Israel allegations of pro-Palestinian bias. He described the criticisms as “malicious attacks.”

William Schabas, a Canadian academic living in the UK, was appointed last August to head the UN Human Rights Council’s three-member team to probe the circumstances of the Operation Protective Edge and allegations of war crimes committed during it. Some 2,200 people, most of them Palestinian civilians, were killed in the conflict.

His candidacy however met fierce resistance from Israeli officials, who accused Schabas of being anti-Israel.

“If any other evidence of this was needed, appointing the committee’s chairman, whose biased opinions and positions against Israel are well known, proves beyond all doubt that Israel cannot expect justice and that the committee’s report has already been written,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry said at the time.

In a letter to the UN commission, Schabas would step down immediately to prevent his past links with the Palestinian Liberation Organization from overshadowing the probe report, reported Reuters. Back in 2012 he wrote a legal opinion for PLO and received $1,300 for the job, he wrote. But he insists that his advice was no different from that he gave to other organizations and governments.

“My views on Israel and Palestine as well as on many other issues were well known and very public,” the letter said. “This work in defense of human rights appears to have made me a huge target for malicious attacks (…).”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the entire UN report to be scrapped following Schabas’ resignation, claiming the move proved his accession of the UNHRC as an “anti-Israeli body.”

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he didn’t expect the report to be affected, but hailed Israeli diplomacy for causing the resignation to happen.

“Even the biggest hypocrites in the international bodies cannot ignore that having Schabas investigate Israel is like having Cain investigate who murdered Abel,” the Lieberman said.
