ICC may prosecute Israelis
Hague prosecutor says examining case for Palestinian jurisdiction over alleged war crimes
The International Criminal Court is exploring ways to prosecute Israeli commanders over alleged war crimes in Gaza, the London-based The Times newspaper reported Monday.
According to the paper, the alleged crimes include the use of deadly white phosphorus in densely populated civilian areas. Israel initially denied using the controversial weapon, which causes horrific burns, but was forced later, in the face of mounting evidence, to admit to having deployed it and order the Israel Defense Forces to launch an investigation into the matter, The Times said.
