Damascus-Sana
Serious concerns began to plague the officials of the Israeli occupation entity after the International Criminal Court announced the end of the initial study phase to open an investigation into the crimes of the occupation in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Israeli Channel 12 said in a report yesterday that the International Criminal Court’s decision to launch a comprehensive investigation paves the way for the pursuit of Israeli political and military officials and high-ranking international officers internationally, noting that among those officials who face the risk of issuing international arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former ministers and chiefs of staff The occupation forces and the Internal Intelligence Service have held the Shin Bet office in the past five years.
The channel quoted diplomatic sources as confirming that private Israeli companies may participate in the defense measures for those officials who are being prosecuted, indicating that the occupation government will not cooperate with the court's investigators in any official capacity.
The state of confusion and panic in the occupation entity’s officials came in the wake of the announcement by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, last Friday of its intention to launch a comprehensive investigation into the crimes of the occupation entity in the Palestinian territories, which was welcomed by the Palestinians, as the Palestinian Foreign Ministry stated that this is the first step of its kind. That the Prosecutor has taken since her announcement of the start of the initial study on January 16, 2015 and that it is an important development to open an investigation into the crimes of the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, especially as it amounts to strict war crimes that it will continue to cooperate P Court in order to achieve justice for the victims of the Palestinian people and to hold Israeli officials for their crimes at the time when the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rejected his administration of this international investigation.
International organizations have previously confirmed that the occupation entity committed crimes and atrocities against the Palestinians in the occupied territories, the latest of which was the conclusion of a report prepared by a United Nations committee and published last February to evidence about the occupation forces committing crimes against humanity or war crimes during their violent attacks on Palestinian return marches in Gaza Strip in 2018.
The committee said in its report that military snipers shot thousands of unarmed protesters at the demonstration sites, confirming that it had found logical reasons to believe that Israeli snipers shot journalists, health workers, children and persons with disabilities, while Palestinian sources confirmed that more than 300 Palestinians were killed and tens of thousands were injured During the occupation forces' attacks on these marches.
Observers affirm that the Israeli violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, murders, displacement, land grabbing, house demolitions, and settlement expansion would not have taken place had it not been for the blatant American bias alongside the occupation entity and its support and standing at its side in international forums and defending its crimes and provocations in the occupied territories.
