Palestine is reportedly about to refer the situation to #ICC

“The Palestinian move is not legally valid…the court has no jurisdiction over the Israeli-Palestinian issue since Israel is not a member state of the court and the Palestinian Authority is not a state.”-Israel MFA on PA’s #ICC referral. Good luck w that. https://t.co/PWSTVxSq1J

2. „The State of #Palestine… refers the Situation in Palestine… and specifically requests the Prosecutor to investigate… past, ongoing and future crimes within the court’s jurisdiction, committed in all parts of the territory of the State of Palestine.” #Israel #ICC https://t.co/H1x90oiGFA

1. #Palestine’s referral is — predictably and justifiably — full of claims concerning #Israel’s criminality. But the referral itself is surprisingly neutral, not purporting to limit the #ICC to investigating #Israeli crimes. https://t.co/YfNJq5PIdp

Also really worth stressing: The PLO and Abbas now own this #ICC referral and its consequences. They may try to get out of it by later saying they only want(ed) Israeli officials investigated and prosecuted, but they know the possible consequences *very* well. https://t.co/uRbsSwGJWg

Chances of a diplomatic 2-state solution between Israel & the Palestinians became vanishingly small when Netanyahu took over as PM. They end today as US puts embassy in Jerusalem.

Most immediate significance of Palestinian ICC referral is to trigger cut off of US foreign aid to PA, which they may have figured would happen anyway under Taylor Force Act, which cuts funds if PA pays terror salaries. I discussed last week on @AJEnglish https://t.co/0I0h00ELOX

Palestine is reportedly about to refer the situation to #ICC. Unclear whether the referral would cover the period going back to Operation Protective Edge or only concern events around the Great March of Return (leading to two situations w/different speeds) https://t.co/nOrBufbOAP

It is incredible that in 2018 the official position of the Hungarian government is that a Budapest-born Jewish Hungarian citizen and Holocaust survivor is „foreign“. https://t.co/Fyz4Ev1sDE

In the meantime, @444hu and @direkt36 report that Hungary’s #GoldenVisas program may have been reopened. The government said they have nothing to do with the ads that appeared on social media in China. We are watching the story as it develops > [3/3] https://t.co/opgVR9T0eS pic.twitter.com/7086YC0XUA
