Sharjah 24 – KUNA: The Arab league welcomed on Saturday the International Criminal Court (ICC) decision about Palestinian jurisdiction claims over the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza since 1967, while recognising serious legal and factual questions that surround its ability to do so.
In a press release, Arab League Assistant Secretary-General for Palestine and the Occupied Arab Territories, Ambassador Saeed Abu Ali said that this decision may allow the opportunity for the prosecutor to investigate all crimes against the Palestinian people.
He also pointed out that it is a major step that will contribute in protecting the rights of all Palestinians to their territories occupied by Israel.
The ICC decision, reached Friday, also approves investigation into alleged war crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinians during the 2014 bombardment of Gaza.
