Palestine to ask UN Security Council chaired by 'Hussein' Obama to set 'timetable' to end Israeli occupation. (RT).
Palestine will ask the UN Security Council to set a “timetable” for Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories, a senior official said. If the request is denied, Palestine will take senior Israeli officials to the ICC over the killing of thousands.
The Palestinian leadership is going to submit the application to the UN Security Council on September 15, Ma'an News Agency reported, citing senior Fatah official Nabil Shaath.
The document will demand a "timetable" for Israel’s withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories.
In addition there will be a meeting of the Arab League on September 5 ahead of sending the application to the UN, to discuss how to support the proposal.
If Palestine’s initiative is denied at the UN, it is going to take senior Israeli officials such as Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon to the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, over Israel’s assault on Gaza, which left over 2,000 Palestinians dead.
The ICC is an international tribunal to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression. It is an independent organization, and is not part of the UN system.
"Taking the case to the ICC is conditional upon the Security Council response to our request," Shaath said.
Abu Yousef said that their application to the UN Security Council would likely be vetoed by the US, which usually opposed any anti-Israeli step.
“If the US uses a veto, then we still have the ICC card,” he added.
Hmmmm......Pres Obama will chair the next UN Security council, i predict Israel will be stabbed in the back.
