Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely responds to the decision by the ICC to call for a reopening of the probe into the Mavi Marmara case, indicating it’s part of a campaign of “Palestinian incitement.”

“It’s very puzzling to me why the International Criminal Court would decide to open a probe into soldiers who defended themselves against brutal attacks by terrorists aboard the Marmara,” she says, according to Ynet.

“There are Palestinian actors who are trying all the time to incite international bodies against Israel. I hope those same bodies will be able to identify the incitement and not help it along.”
