Palestinian Foreign Ministry official, Ammar Hijazi, told reporters on Thursday that the file will be sent to the ICC Chief Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, on June 25, and will focus on Israel’s violations of international law. He said the file is only general and statistical, adding Palestine will provide specific proofs if the ICC decides to start investigations.

The move is part of Palestinians’ attempt against the Tel Aviv regime and the crimes it has committed in Palestinian territories, including crimes committed during the latest Israeli war on the besieged Gaza Strip last year. Bensouda’s office has already launched a preliminary examination into the crimes that began in June 2014.
