After the human rights organization "Combatants for Peace" sent a letter to the International Criminal Court (ICC) confirming that the displacement of Palestinians from their homes is a "war crime", the ICC is looking into the possibility of opening an investigation into the displacement of Palestinians.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague is examining the possibility of opening an investigation into the Israeli authorities' demolition of Palestinian homes in Khirbet Humsa in the Jordan Valley.

The thought comes after the human rights organization "Combatants for Peace" sent a letter to the ICC stressing that the displacement of Palestinians is considered a "war crime", noting that the Israeli army plans on implementing a demographic change in the region by expelling Palestinians from the land. 

It is worth noting that last June, 50 European politicians, including former prime ministers and ministers, denounced the Israeli occupation's attempts to accuse the International Criminal Court of "anti-Semitism" and obstruct it from carrying out its responsibilities.

In a joint letter to the former officials, published by The Guardian newspaper, the signatories expressed their regret at seeing the escalating attacks on the ICC, its staff, and civil society groups collaborating with it, affirming their refusal to undermining the ICC’s investigation of crimes in the occupied territories.

In April, Israeli media indicated that the occupation would not cooperate with the International Criminal Court regarding the investigation into the Israeli "war crimes" in the West Bank and Gaza.

Last March, the International Criminal Court opened an investigation into Israel's "war crimes" in the West Bank and Gaza, stating that the decision to open an investigation into the situation in Palestine came after a preliminary examination that lasted for about five years, adding that the Court's jurisdiction extends from Gaza to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Palestine officially became a member of the International Criminal Court on April 1, 2015, allowing it to legally prosecute Israeli officials on war crimes against Palestinians.

In a closed session at the headquarters of the Criminal Court in The Hague, this accession took place, representing a new step in the diplomatic and judicial campaign launched by the Palestinian leadership in 2014.
