"the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council voted to set up an independent international inquiry into the raid."

I'm a bit confused about this supposed 'independent' inquiry, I thought the US BLOCKED an independent UN inquiry, and instead successfully pushed for it to be conducted by Israel itself. Or is the use of the term 'independent' a fudge?
