Palestinian Authority: ICC arrest warrants are the PA's achievement

The article from Palestinian Media Watch highlights the Palestinian Authority's (PA) active involvement in the International Criminal Court's (ICC) proceedings against Israeli officials. The PA has been submitting daily requests and documentation to the ICC Prosecutor concerning events on Palestinian territories. This initiative is portrayed as a strategic effort led by President Mahmoud Abbas to hold Israeli leaders accountable for alleged crimes. The PA views the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as a significant achievement, affirming its commitment to continue engaging with international justice institutions. However, the article notes that U.S. law prohibits the PA from receiving aid from the Economic Support Fund if it assists the ICC in prosecuting Israel, raising questions about the implications of the PA's actions on its U.S. aid.
