Twenty-four parliamentarians opposed it and nine abstained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resolution of the committee, expected to be voted on at the EP plenum on July 15, refers to a December 2022 resolution by the United Nations, initiated by the Palestinians, requesting the International Court&nbsp;formulate an opinion on the legal consequences of Israel&#8217;s occupation of Palestinian territories. It is unclear, however, if the sponsors have majority to pass it, and next steps if it passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A month before the resolution was adopted, former Prime Minister Yair Lapid warned that bringing the matter to the International Court would &#8220;only play into the hands of extremists.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the December 2022 resolution, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the UN of &#8220;distorting historical facts.&#8221; Netanyahu said that&nbsp;&#8220;like hundreds of the twisted decisions against Israel taken by the United Nations General Assembly over the years, today\u2019s despicable decision will not bind the Israeli government. The Jewish nation is not an occupier in its own land and its own eternal capital, Jerusalem.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s resolution by the EP&nbsp;expresses concern &#8220;regarding the Israeli government\u2019s decision to impose punitive measures against the Palestinian people, leadership and civil society, such as withholding funds and implementing a moratorium on construction plans in (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/originals\/2023\/05\/israeli-forces-kill-three-palestinians-west-bank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">West Bank<\/a>) Area C.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This passage refers to Israel\u2019s practice of withholding tax funds it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, over the Palestinian policy of paying stipends to families of imprisoned assailants. It also criticized Israel\u2019s policy of demolishing homes and buildings constructed without building permits, including schools in small Palestinian villages funded by the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parliament\u2019s resolution also called on the EU to strengthen its ties with the Palestinian Authority. In a tweet posted after the debate, Incir wrote,&nbsp;&#8220;Palestinians have lived under occupation more than 50 years. The European Union must strengthen its cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, help the people and act to end the occupation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European parliamentarian Charlie Weimers of the Sweden Democrats party slammed the resolution by the committee, arguing it was blaming Israel for all Palestinian ills. Weimers stated that&nbsp;\u201cit is disgraceful that the European Parliament\u2019s committee turns a blind eye to persistent Palestinian-sponsored terrorism,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it is a travesty that the recommendation does not forcefully condemn Palestinian terrorism \u2014 one of the greatest obstacles to a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/originals\/2023\/06\/european-parliament-committee-calls-prosecute-israel-war-crimes#ixzz863frdU6u\">https:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/originals\/2023\/06\/european-parliament-committee-calls-prosecute-israel-war-crimes#ixzz863frdU6u<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament hopes to get the plenum to approve a resolution encouraging the International Court to charge Israel with war crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":248858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-248856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
