Internationella brottmålsdomstolens chefsåklagare har sagt att hon överväger att öppna utredning om krigsförbrytelser för palestinier samt israeler efter den palestinska myndigheten (PA) blev behörig (enligt en del uppfattningar, inte USA) att ansluta sig till domstolen förra månaden, enligt AFP.
Fatou Bensouda avslog Israels rädsla för partiskhet av domstolen, och lovar att överväga bevis "självständigt och opartiskt utan skräck eller favör," i en intervju publicerad av Haaretz på fredagen.
"Vi kommer naturligtvis att undersöka påstådda brott som begås av alla parter i konflikten. Jag har gjort detta klart för både israeliska och palestinska tjänstemän," hävdade hon.
Bensouda sade att hittills var hennes överläggningar fortfarande på ett preliminärt stadium och ingen utredning hade inletts i någon från endera sidan.
"I detta skede undersöker vi inte, eftersom ett beslut om att inleda en utredning av situationen för Palestina inte har gjorts", sade hon.
Många har noterat att PA genom att delta i ICC har öppnat sig för stämningar - varje missil avfyrad mot Israel av PA:s partner Hamas, och faktiskt av PA ordförande Mahmoud Abbas Fatah, utgör en krigsförbrytelse.
Specifikt en palestinsk källa erkände möjligheten att ICC bud baktänder när han talade till Maariv förra månaden, noterade att "palestinierna kan göra en fordran mot bosättningarna, men det är garanterat att ett påstående om det senaste kriget i Gaza kommer att medföra motstämning från Israel, som förbereder sig för detta.

"Israelerna har förberett högar av pappersarbete om agerande under Operation Protective Edge, inklusive påståenden om Hamas raketbeskjutning och palestinska grupper skjuter från skolor och andra civila byggnader. Detta kan leda till en stämning mot Hamas ledare som kontrollerar Gazaremsan," sade källan.

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor has said she is weighing opening war crimes investigations into Palestinians as well as Israelis after the Palestinian Authority (PA) joined the tribunal's jurisdiction last month, according to AFP.
Fatou Bensouda rejected Israeli fears of bias by the court, promising to consider the evidence "independently and impartially without fear or favor," in an interview published by Haaretz on Friday.
"We will of course look into the alleged crimes committed by all sides to the conflict. I have made this clear to both Israeli and Palestinian
officials," she claimed.
Bensouda said that so far her deliberations were still at a preliminary stage and no investigation had been opened into anyone from either side.
"At this stage we are not investigating, as a decision on whether to open an investigation in the situation of Palestine has not been made," she said.
Many have noted that by joining the ICC the PA has opened itself up to lawsuits - every missile fired on Israel by the PA's unity partner Hamas, and indeed by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah, constitutes a war crime.
Specifically, a Palestinian Arab source admitted to the possibility of the ICC bid backfiring while speaking to Maariv last month, noting "Palestinians can make a claim against the settlements, but it's doubtful that a claim regarding the recent war in Gaza won't bring about a counter-suit from Israel, which is preparing for this."
"The Israelis have prepared stacks of paperwork on conduct during Operation Protective Edge, including claims of Hamas rocket fire and Palestinian groups shooting from schools and other civilian buildings. This could lead to a suit against Hamas leaders who control the Gaza Strip," the source added.
