The International Criminal Court warned Israel that if it doesn’t cooperate with the initial investigation into possible violations of international law, a full investigation may be conducted without Israel’s input.
In an interview with the Associated Press, the chief prosecutor of the ICC Ms Fatou Bensouda, urging Israel to cooperate with the initial inquiry, said,
”If I don’t have the information that I’m requesting, I will be forced to find it from elsewhere, or I may perhaps be forced to just go with one side of the story. That is why I think it is in the best interest of both sides to provide my office with information.”
Ms Bensouda also reiterated that the preliminary probe into international law violations in Palestinian territories “ will be conducted in the most independent and impartial way, devoid of any political considerations.”
