Arab League chief wants The Hague to probe Gaza killings
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the Arab League says his organization wants the International Criminal Court in The Hague to investigate the deaths last week of 16 Palestinians during protests near Gaza’s border with Israel.
Ahmed Aboul-Gheit says during an official visit to Lisbon, Portugal that the Arab League also supports UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ call for an independent investigation of the killings by Israeli forces.
Aboul-Gheit says Palestinians are demanding their rights “and they will not be forgotten or diminished.”
He says he hopes the killings would stop “because the demonstrations will continue at least until May 15” — the 70th anniversary of Israel’s creation.
