“The [Israeli] occupation continues its inhumane and illegal siege imposed on the Gaza Strip for more than 15 years and continues to impose restrictions on freedom of movement in the West Bank,” PCHR said.

The PCHR urged the ICC to act seriously with regard to the situation in Palestine similar to its prompt action in Ukraine.(T/R3/P2)
