Will Israel be put on trial for war crimes?

Al Jazeera  

An expected visit by ICC delegation could increase the risk of Israeli officials being tried for war crimes. Since Protective Edge, two of Israel’s largest human rights groups, B’Tselem and Yesh Din, have refused to cooperate with Israeli investigations in Gaza, accusing the Israeli military of using them to “whitewash” its actions. “The main aim appears to be to place obstacles in the way of the investigations so that Israel’s armed forces are not held accountable.” Israel’s failure to conduct thorough and transparent inquiries could open the door to the ICC launching its own formal investigation, he said. Ghazi Hamad, a Palestinian official dealing with ICC matters, said the Palestinian Authority hoped that the visit would “speed up the opening of the investigation“ by the court into Israel’s conduct during Protective Edge. Israeli authorities, she added, had previously conceded that human rights groups played an important role in helping to “overcome the fear that Palestinian residents have of meeting personnel.” Al Mezan and Adalah said that, in many cases, Israel had refused to speak to any witnesses outside the military before it dropped inquiries into suspected war crimes.
