Geneva (IINA) – The State of Qatar called on the world leaders to lift the immunity of Israel by referring the file of the Israeli aggression on Gaza to the International Criminal Court (ICC), Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
It also called on the world leaders to ensure the implementation of the recommendations of the report of the International Commission of Inquiry on the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip in 2014, to hold Israeli officials accountable and prosecute for the crimes they committed.
This came in the speech delivered Monday by Faisal bin Abdullah Al Henzab, Qatar’s permanent representative to the UN Office in Geneva, during the interactive dialogue with the UN Independent Commission on the Israeli aggression on the occupied Palestinian territories, especially the Gaza Strip in 2014, during the 29th session and the Chapter 7.
Al Henzab expressed Qatar's strong denunciation to the information contained in the report regarding Israel's refusal to cooperate with the investigation panel, which affirms that Israel is obstructing the investigation.
The Qatari diplomat said that this obstruction is to cover up not only on the war crimes mentioned in the report, but also the crimes against humanity and violations of human rights committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.
The report represents an explicit condemnation of the Israeli occupation, and a valid document to activate the legal and judicial aspect of the prosecution of Israeli war criminals, he added.
Al Henzab also welcomed the recommendations contained in the report regarding the accountability of the Israeli political and military leaders. He stressed that the impunity of the Israeli leaders from prosecution and international condemnation encourages them to commit more crimes and wage other wars without any deterrent, especially in light of the international leniency towards the heinous Israeli crimes which amounts to collusion.
He emphasized the need to achieve justice redress for the Palestinian people, and to ensure the non-recurrence of the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, through a resolution under Chapter VII of the Security Council, and most importantly not considering Israel as a state that is above the law.
