Palestinian Justice Minister Saleem Al-Saqqa and Ismail Jabr, the Gaza court public prosecutor, started legal proceedings Friday via a Paris-based lawyer over the 18 days of fighting between Hamas and Israel that’s left 800 Palestinians and 35 Israelis dead.
They accuse Israel of war crimes, including apartheid, attacks against civilians, excessive loss of human life and colonization.
To process the complaint, the Hague-based court must first rule if it has jurisdiction in the Palestinian Authority. The territory isn’t a U.N. member but became an observer in 2012, a status the ICC chief prosecutor said was required for Palestinians to sign up to the court.
They can make any accusation they want. Doesn’t mean it has any credibility.
we knew it was coming. israel should have filed first.
They start the killing and than we retaliate so they wont be able to kill us they scream ‘war crimes’, well, if you can’t stand the heat get the HxxL out of the kitchen!
Reminds me of one who kills his parents and cries in front of the judge to be lenient with him since he’s an orphan!
If the ICC goes for this nonsense then they’re just as crazy as these savages who can’t think straight!
Unlike hamass who are very humane and avoid civilians, huh?
