The international criminal court prosecutor receives more information from Palestinian officials to launch a war crimes investigation against Israel.
"The prosecutor ... Luis Moreno-Ocampo received a Palestinian delegation headed by Dr. Ali Khashan, Minister of Justice of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA)," said a Friday court statement a day after a UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) accused Tel Aviv of war crimes.
The court's statement says the office of the prosecutor will carefully examine all arguments submitted.
The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has adopted a resolution, endorsing the Goldstone report on the Gaza war, despite efforts by Israeli leaders to block the motion.
Tel Aviv is concerned that the resolution would open the door to lodging war crime charges in international courts against its senior politicians and army officials involved in the weeks-long onslaught against the Gaza Strip.
