Pato Bensuda, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, announced yesterday that she was interested in launching a full investigation into war crimes in Judea and Samaria and Gaza. “I am convinced that there is a reasonable basis to start an investigation.

In response to Bensuda’s statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked the decision, reiterating Israel’s position that the tribunal has no authority to discuss issues concerning Israel: “The tribunal has once again proved that it is a political body and not a judicial institution. “After the State of Israel, a state with a strong democratic regime that sanctifies the rule of law and is not a member of the court.”
Sources in the Ministry of Justice and in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified that no Israeli now has an immediate danger, and that Israel was prepared for this decision through A large inter-ministerial team that will provide protection “to every Israeli citizen that the court will try to pursue legal persecution.”

“Iran hides banned nuclear activity”

Evidence found at various sites in Iran proves that the country has hidden from the UN Atomic Energy Agency a prohibited nuclear activity that it is carrying out, according to a revelation by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal.

According to senior diplomats briefed by the organization’s staff, remnants of radioactive material were found by agency inspectors at several sites to which access was restricted for seven months. According to the suspicion, the Iranians prevented the inspectors from accessing the facilities in order to transfer the military nuclear activity carried out in them.

The same sources claimed that it was not clear whether the military nuclear activity was new or old, but the very denial of access to the inspectors raised suspicion that Iran had indeed violated its obligations to close the sites.
