The Israeli government said it "will not cooperate" with the United Nations enquiry, if it seeks evidence from the Israeli troops involved.
The Jewish state said it agreed to assist the four-man panel of the enquiry, set up by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, on the understanding soldiers would not be questioned.
But Mr Ban said no such agreement was made. The row has overshadowed the launch of the UN investigation and risks its collapse.
Another enquiry being carried out by retired Israeli judges has now heard from one Israeli soldier, the country’s chief of staff, Gabi Ashkenazi.
But it will not hear from the commandos themselves either.
