Palestinians see no ICC justice for Israel’s Gaza ‘crimes’

Al Jazeera  

Palestinians have ‘little hope’ UN court will hold Israel accountable for thousands of deaths in 2014 Gaza attack. The International Criminal Court declared last December it would launch “a full investigation” into alleged war crimes committed in Palestinian territories by Israeli forces. ‘Like a nightmare’ Even after six years, Rajaa Albatsh is still stuck in the memories of the 2014 Israeli attack on Gaza, when four of her children were among 18 members of her family killed in an Israeli attack. “The Israeli occupation is backed by the United States, and there is no serious international pressure that could stop Israeli crimes against Palestinians.” Rajaa, however, said an international trial could help alleviate her suffering. As for the ICC’s investigation, Bakr and his family said Israel should be punished for its “crimes” under international law.

The ICC’s arrest warrants for Gaza do not demonstrate its ‘bias’; rather, they redeem its legitimacy.
