Palestinians to seek ‘justice’ against Israel — UN envoy
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority’s representative to the UN says Palestinians will take Israel to task over its actions in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya on Sunday, in which over 70 Palestinians were said to have been killed, many of them civilians. 13 Israeli soldiers were also killed in the fighting.
“We will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice,” Ynet quoted Riyad Mansour as saying in a press conference at UN headquarters in New York.
Asked if the PA was considering appealing to the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Mansour said that option was under consideration.
Mansour added that the only way to ensure a lasting peace in Gaza was to remove the siege on the coastal territory and eliminate restrictions on its residents.
