Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “ICC prosecutor opens war crimes probe in Palestinian territories” – below is their description.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said on Wednesday she launched a formal inquiry into alleged crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories, a move strongly opposed by Israel.
Fatou Bensouda said in a statement the inquiry will be conducted “independently, impartially and objectively, without fear or favour”.
The Palestinian Authority welcomed the prosecutor’s investigation, saying it was a “long-awaited step that serves Palestine’s tireless pursuit of justice and accountability”.
