Video - WATCH: Palestinian diplomat admits Hamas war crimes. HT: YnetNews.
The Palestinian delegate to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Ibrahim Khreisheh has admitted that Hamas is committing war crimes by firing rockets into Israel.
Khreisheh was speaking on Palestinian television
last week, in an interview translated by MEMRI (the Middle East Media Research
Institute),
Responding to a question about the Palestinians’
demand to appeal to the International Criminal Court at The Hague (ICC) against
Israel, Khreisheh responded: “The missiles that are now being launched against
Israel, each and every missile constitutes a crime against humanity, whether it
hits or missed, because it is directed at civilian targets…Therefore, targeting
civilians, be it one civilian or a thousand, is considered a crime against
humanity.”
Relating to Israel’s mode of operation in Gaza
during Operation Protective Edge, Khreisheh states: “Please note that many of
our people in Gaza appeared in TV and said that the Israeli army warned them to
evacuate their homes before bombardment. In such a case, if someone is killed,
the law considers it a mistake rather than intentional killing, because (the
Israelis) followed the legal procedures.”Read the full story here.
