The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor has announced the Hague will launch a probe into alleged war crimes by Israel in what it termed the “Palestinian territories.”
“The decision to open an investigation followed a painstaking preliminary examination undertaken by my office that lasted close to five years,” outgoing Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda (pictured) said in a statement.
The Palestinian Authority welcomed the decision, which it said was in step with “Palestine’s tireless pursuit of justice and accountability.”

The NBC show âNursesâ is being accused of anti-Semitism as a result of a scene involving Orthodox Jews.
The scene, which came from an episode that aired on February 9, shows a young Hasidic patient being told he needs a bone graft from a deceased donor to heal his leg. The patient gets emotional and shakes his head at the idea, while his dad points out that the leg could be âa goyim leg. From anyone. An Arab. A woman.â A female nurse then chimes in, âGod forbid an Arab woman!â Ultimately, the patient chooses not to get the surgery.
