“Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO) Secretary General Saeb Erekat says new
petitions will be sent to the International Criminal Court (ICC)
against the Israeli regime for the crimes against Palestinians. The
senior Palestinian official on Tuesday slammed Israel for
extrajudicial killing of Palestinians, as well as committing field
executions and collective punishment against them.”
“He
also called on the United Nations Special Rapporteur on
Extrajudicial, Summary and Arbitrary Executions Christof Heyns to
visit the occupied Palestinian territories and launch an immediate
probe into field executions carried out by Israeli forces and
settlers.”
“The
remarks come amid recent deadly tensions between the Tel Aviv regime
and Palestinians that have been triggered by Israel’s imposition of
sweeping restrictions on entries into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in
East al-Quds (Jerusalem) on August 26 and Israeli settlers’
repeated attacks on the mosque. According to the Palestinian Ministry
of Health, at least 30 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli
forces between October 1 and 13.”
