Palestine aim 'to take Israelis before the International Criminal Court for war crimes'

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki on Saturday said his government would soon try to haul Israelis before the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

"We will go to the ICJ, and put our signature on it. Very soon we will be a (sovereign) state. That is enough for the court to start an investigation," Malki said to the AFP



"And I asked the ICJ to start an official investigation, to see if what Israel has done in the past 33 days reaches the level of war crimes,"  He added.

Palestinians in November 2012 obtained non-member observer status at the United Nations, opening the door for an ICC investigation.
