Cairo - MENA
The Arab foreign ministers asserted they fully back a Palestinian bid to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) to pave the way for a possible war crimes investigation with Israel.
During an Arab League meeting here on Monday, the ministers issued a resolution demanding the international community to intervene and stop the Israeli violations against the Palestinians and to remove all the settlements built on Palestinian lands.
The top diplomats condemned the destruction of Palestinian homes in the West Bank by the Israeli forces, considering it ethnic cleansing and a flagrant violation of the principles of human rights.
They also called for an immediate end to the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.
