Meanwhile, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that “the UN is obliged to heed the compelling evidence presented by all leading human rights organisations and hold Israel accountable for its crimes against Palestinians.”

“Equally and urgently, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) must investigate Israel’s crime against humanity without delay,” the statement said.

Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which are claimed by the Palestinians, in the 1967 Middle East war, and has controlled them ever since. The Palestinians have been seeking to establish an independent state on these territories together with the enclave Gaza Strip.
