Palestine to file suit at ICC over arson attack

The Palestinian Foreign Minister Raid Malki confirmed that the Palestinian Authority will file a case at the International Criminal Court this week to seek justice for the arson attack in the West Bank that killed an infant on Friday.

Mr Malki was speaking after arriving at the Palestinian mission to the United Nations in Geneva, reports Harretz.

The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is also set to fly to Egypt on Monday to meet with representatives from the Arab League in attempts to request diplomatic support for the ICC law suit.

Mr Abbas labelled the recent attack as “war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
