International Criminal Court Declines to Prosecute Alleged Israeli War Crimes
2019-12-03
[TWITTER]
Thank you, President Trump.
The International Criminal Court on Monday declined to reopen an investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes stemming from a 2010 incident in which a Gaza-bound flotilla filled with militant anti-Israel agitators was intercepted by Israeli authorities, leading to a bloody confrontation.

The ICC's lead investigator declined to bow to pressure and reopen an investigation into the nearly decade-old confrontation between Israeli military personnel and activists aboard the Mavi Marmara, a flotilla that attempted to violently penetrate Israel's blockade on the Gaza Strip.

This is now the third time ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has declined to pursue war crimes charges against Israel.
