The Hague (IINA) – Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki is currently on a visit to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to deliver files detailing possible Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, news agencies reported.
The move by the Palestinian Authority (PA) comes days after a UN panel found that both Israel and the Palestinian factions could have committed war crimes during last summer's Gaza conflict.
The files, taken to court Wednesday, would feed into a preliminary investigation being carried out by ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda into possible crimes on Palestinian territory.
Bensouda's initial probe aims to establish if there is enough evidence to merit opening a full investigation that could ultimately lead to charges against both Israelis and Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority officially joined the International Criminal Court on April 1, after having signed the court’s founding treaty, the Rome Statute, last December.
