Palestinian, Arab, and European lawyers, on behalf of Palestinian lawmakers, have filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands, against the Israeli occupation state and its inhumane blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The lawyers, entrusted by Palestinian MPs from Gaza, recently handed ICC officials documents containing the legal complaint.
The complaint has asked the court to issue a verdict ending the unjust siege on Gaza and secure compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering.
In this regard, international law expert Anis Qasem has described the filing of such a complaint with ICC as a “good step” and the “only weapon the Palestinian people have to hold the Israeli occupation state accountable for its crimes.”
