ICC Set to Investigate Israeli Regime’s War Crimes in Palestine

Friday 26 June 2015
ICC Set to Investigate Israeli Regime’s War Crimes in Palestine
Alwaght- The International Criminal Court (ICC) is set to fully investigate war crimes committed by the Israeli regime in the West Bank and Gaza after the Palestinian Authority submitted files to The Hague based court.
This follows a Thursday meeting between ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda in The Hague, the Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki who delivered to the tribunal dossiers on the Israeli war on Gaza, the regime’s illegal settlement construction in the occupied territories as well as the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Tel Aviv’s custody.
The Palestinian ambassador to the Netherlands, Nabil Abu Zneid,  said earlier the documents describe in detail the Israeli regime's violations of of international law in Gaza and the West Bank.
The files also explain the current Israeli regime occupation policies and illegal settlement construction across the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds.
The new documents will help the ICC to open a full-scale investigation with a view to pressing crime charges against senior Israeli regime officials.
“Palestine is a test for the credibility of international mechanisms ... a test the world cannot afford to fail. Palestine has decided to seek justice, not vengeance,” Maliki said.
It remains to be seen if the ICC can take serious action against the Israeli regime especially after several African heads of state accused The Hague based court of being a toll used by neocolonialists to sustain their global agenda.
The ICC has received Israeli regime’s war crimes file just days after a separate investigation by the United Nations Human Rights Council accused the regime of committing war crimes in last summer's Gaza War.
The Tel Aviv regime started its latest aggression against the Gaza Strip in early July 2014. The war, which lasted for 50 days, claimed the lives of over 2,130 Palestinians, including many children and women, and injured some 11,000 others.
The defiant Israeli regime has ignored international condemnation and continued with its illegal settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
