The ICC ruled in February it has jurisdiction over the situation in the Israeli occupied Palestinian territories.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said on Wednesday she launched a formal probe into alleged crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories, a move strongly opposed by Israel. Fatou Bensouda said in a statement the probe will be conducted “independently, impartially and objectively, without fear or favour”. “Today, I confirm the initiation by the office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court of an investigation respecting the situation in Palestine,” Bensouda said.More Related News
