On 5 February, Palestinians saw a long tunnel open and a light flicker in the distance for justice. The International Criminal Court (ICC) Pre-Trial Chamber I decided, by majority, that the Court s territorial jurisdiction in the Situation in Palestine, a State party to the ICC Rome Statute, extends to the territories occupied by Israel since 1967. The ICC now has jurisdiction to investigate crimes the Palestinians say were perpetrated by Israel in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. Court prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had previously called for investigations, saying there was a reasonable basis to believe war crimes had happened.

GENEVA, Friday, April 09, 2021 – The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has strongly condemned Israel s decision to refuse cooperation with the International Criminal Court following the latter’s announcement in March on opening an investigation into possible war crimes in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.
In a press statement, Euro-Med Monitor said it “believes that the Israeli decision stems from its knowledge that the Israeli army had committed violations that may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, which explains their attempts to not cooperate with any international investigations and avoid accountability.”
