Israel is seeking the political support of the new US administration after the International Criminal Court (ICC) declared it had jurisdiction over war crimes committed in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
Israel believes the decision will lead to an investigation into settlements and war crimes.
A report by the Israeli Walla website said that senior Israeli officials and their counterparts in the US administration discussed The Hague’s decision last week.
US Chargé d'Affairs to Israel discussed with Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi the decision of the ICC at the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
