Palestine's Foreign Affairs Ministry: The Foreign Affairs Ministry is the party that sends regular reports to The Hague
Palestine's Foreign Affairs Minister Riyad Al-Maliki denied to Al Mayadeen on Sunday Israeli media reports that the Palestinian Authority has decided to suspend the work of a committee gathering evidence against "Israel" at The Hague.
Al-Maliki said that as long as the occupation is committing crimes, the PA will send reports to The Hague, adding that the Foreign Ministry is the party that sends regular reports to The Hague, and it has not stopped sending its regular reports, nor has it been late in sending any report.
The Palestinian FM asked: "Have the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people stopped so that the Foreign Ministry would find no crimes to document for the court?" He further stressed that the reports document the continued crimes, committed by "Israel" as a force of occupation, against the people and the land of Palestine.
"Israel's" Channel 12 had claimed - from Palestinian sources - that PA President Mahmoud Abbas had ordered the suspension of the committee working on gathering evidence to condemn "Israel" at The Hague.
Israeli media sources had also quoted a high-ranking Israeli official as saying that there are fears of an upcoming decision by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague to open an investigation against "Israel".
