“Everything that has happened in the last 28 days is clear evidence of war crimes committed by Israel, amounting to crimes against humanity,” Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki told reporters after meeting prosecutors at the ICC on Tuesday, Al-Alam reported.

“There is no difficulty for us to show or build the case. Evidence is there … Israel is in clear violation of international law,” he added.

The complaint filed by Palestine details war crimes committed by the Zionist regime’s military forces over the past few weeks in Palestine.

Legal experts say the complaint is valid although the Palestinian Authority (PA) has yet to sign up to the Hague-based ICC.

Palestine is a non-member observer state at the United Nations and its ICC membership has been delayed only because of political quarrels.

Al-Malki has also asked the UN to end what he called Israel’s impunity, saying Tel Aviv must be held accountable for its crimes in Gaza.
