Palestine to Report on Zionist War Crimes to ICC

TEHRAN (FNA) - Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Maliki will present documents detailing Palestine’s complaints against Zionists’ international law breaches during its assault on the Gaza Strip last year in the International Criminal Court (ICC), media reports said.

Maliki will present the documents, accusing Zionists of war crimes among other things, on Thursday, The Guardian reported.
Maliki's submission of the documents will come shortly after a UN Independent Commission of Inquiry report on the 2014 Gaza Conflict alleged that both Israel and Palestine committed actions that may prove to be war crimes.
The move is part of Palestinians’ attempt against the Tel Aviv regime and the crimes it has committed against Palestinian territories, including crimes committed during the latest Zionist war on the besieged Gaza Strip last year.
The Palestinian Authority officially joined the ICC on April 1, becoming the 123rd member of The Hague-based court.
The Palestinian decision to join the ICC was made in January after decades of negotiations with Zionists failed to put an end to Tel Aviv’s policy of expanding illegal settlements on the occupied Palestinian lands.
Zionists started its latest war on the Gaza Strip in early July last year. The offensive ended on August 26, 2014 with a truce that took effect through indirect negotiations in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
Nearly 2,200 Palestinians, including more than 500 children, were killed in Israel’s 50-day onslaught. Over 11,100 people were also injured.
