Senior Israeli political and military officials are likely to be prosecuted before the International Criminal Court (ICC), after the court’s decision to launch an investigation into war crimes committed against Palestinians, according to a report released by Yedioth Ahronoth, on Sunday.

The newspaper pointed out that Benny Gantz, who served as a Chief of General Staff of the Israeli army during the 2014 war on Gaza, Moshe Ya’alon, who served as a Minister of Defense during the 2014 war, Gadi Eizenkot and Aviv Kochavi, who served as Chiefs of Staffs , as well as top former and current Israeli officials are all liable to prosecution on the ICC.

It also pointed out that the ICC intends to investigate PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Avigdor Lieberman, Naftali Bennett, as well as ministers responsible for construction in the settlements.

According to the newspaper, the ICC’s decision was taken after five years of preliminary examination, due to the latest developments that included Netanyahu’s announcement of his intention to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley, the U.S. State Department’s statement of legalizing settlement, as well as the prosecutor’s statement that she believes Israel has committed war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Israeli newspaper noted, according to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency, that the Israeli government will not officially cooperate with the ICC, especially after condemning the decision by the United States.

http://imemc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AzizOweisat-e1526862033447.jpg

The Palestinian Detainees’ Committee has reported that detainee Aziz ‘Oweisat, 53, died at an Israeli hospital from serious complications after he was assaulted by several Israeli soldiers in the prison, who claimed he attacked an officer with a sharp object.

The Committee said ‘Oweisat, from Jabal al-Mokabber in occupied Jerusalem, was taken prisoner on March 24, 2014, and was sentenced to a life term.

The Committee added that he suffered brain hemorrhage and a heart attack after the soldiers continuously assaulting him in Eshil Israeli prison, on May 2, 2018, and went into a coma before he was moved to Ramla Israeli Medical Center.

Later, the detainee was moved to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center due to the seriousness of his condition, but he suffered further deterioration, and was transferred to Tal HaShomer Medical Center.

On May 10th, 2018, he underwent heart surgery at Tal HaShomer Israeli Medical Center, and lasted for nearly three hours.

Despite his serious condition, he was returned a few days ago to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, after the Administration of Tal HaShomer refused to keep him hospitalized at their facility.

The Detainees’ Committee said he died at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, due to the seriousness of his condition.

It is worth mentioning that the Detainees’ Committee filed an urgent appeal with an Israeli court asking for his release so that he could receive steady medical attention, and the court scheduled the hearing for May 25th. He did not make it to the hearing, however, since he died on May 20th.

The detainees in Israeli prisons and detention camps declared a three-day mourning period, and demanded that Israel be held accountable for its violations and crimes.

For its part, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) held Israel fully responsible for his death, especially since the Israeli Prison Authority refused to release him despite its knowledge of his serious condition.

It added that seven Palestinian detainees have died in the last five years after being denied medical attention, in addition to ‘Oweisat.
