Ramallah, MINA – The Palestinian government is asking the International Criminal Court (ICC) to take a clear stance against the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied Jerusalem.

The request was conveyed through a letter sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Riyad Al-Maliki to the Chief Prosecutor General of the ICC Fatou Bensouda on Monday, Wafa reported.

Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah’s neighborhood face threats of eviction from their homes as a result of Israel’s Supreme Council decision, mainly for granting settlers rights to land based on false excuses and false documents.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry stressed that this decision was a flagrant and serious violation.
