Israel must accept ICC notification letters regarding war crimes investigation, says legal expert
Lawyer Nick Kaufman has stated in an article published by Hebrew newspaper Haaretz that it is in Israel's best interests to communicate to Fatou Bensouda, prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), that she should not send court notification letters regarding the opening of an investigation into war crimes before the formation of a new government has taken place in the country.
According to Kaufman, the reasoning behind this is due to the likelihood that the new government will consider the possibility of conducting a local investigation into the use of excessive force against Palestinians.
