Palestinian Authority welcomes UN solution calling on ICC to investigate Israel’s ‘occupation’
Last month, the UN General Assembly approved a solution requesting a legal advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice regarding the nature of the “Israeli profession of the Palestinian territories. “
A senior Israeli official told Ynet after the vote: “In fact, there is a crusade here as a component of the crusade against the heid component or the criminalization of the occupation, but this is the first time we have faced such things at the UN. with him in the afterlife and we will also achieve it now.
“The existing government will stand idly by in the face of this war and respond if necessary,” the government said in a statement.
The Cabinet approved a series of steps to be taken in reaction to the Palestinian Authority’s appeal to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last week over the legitimacy of Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria.
Measures through the Cabinet included:
“The Palestinian Authority is not interested in a solution, nor in any genuine improvement in the Palestinians’ scenario,” Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said Friday.
“All they care about is harming Israel.
“The package of measures through Israel is intended to send a transparent signal that Israel will ask for a value for any attempt to harm Israel on the outside stage,” Cohen added.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, chairman of the Religious Zionism party, also noted that the government needed to “end the PA’s terrorist birthday party, the bills to terrorists and the profits they get from us. “
Smotrich warned: “Those who act like us will pay a heavy price. “
