Palestinian officials, victims and legal scholars say despite the mounting evidence and ongoing atrocities, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan has shown little interest in seriously probing Israel, Al Jazeera reports.
On December 2, Eman Nafi was one of dozens of Palestinians invited to meet Khan during his visit to the occupied West Bank. As the wife of the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israel, Nafi wanted to speak to Khan about her husband and the Israeli occupation.
But Khan spent most of the meeting talking before his team gave Nafi and other Palestinian victims 10 minutes to share their stories.
“People got angry. They told him, ‘You are coming to listen to us for 10 minutes? How are we going to tell you about our stories in 10 minutes’,” Nafi told Al Jazeera.
While Khan ended up listening to the victims for about an hour, Palestinians fear that he is applying a double standard by solely focusing his efforts on Hamas and ignoring the grave crimes Israel is accused of having perpetrated over two months of a deadly conflict.
