New Israel Fund grantees help open ICC case against Israel – Adalah, B’tselem, other NPOs aided by the New Israel Fund, do not even make a pretense of being pro-Israel. Why are US Jews donating to them? | Israel National News
On Friday, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Fatou Bensouda, announced that her office will open a long-anticipated investigation into alleged war crimes perpetrated in the ‚West Bank‘ and Gaza.
Specifically, Bensouda will attempt to focus on the issue of the Israeli „settlements“ and the IDF’s 2014 Operation Protective Edge in Gaza. Israel has challenged the Court’s jurisdiction over the ‚West Bank‘ and Gaza, along with Israel’s activities there, as it is not a member of the Court and has never signed the Rome Treaty. Moreover, Israel contends that the Palestinian Arabs do not represent a state and therefore are not entitled to membership in the ICC. Therefore, the Court has no jurisdiction to delve into any events or actions in the conflict.
