LONDON: Members of Jordan’s Lower House legal committee convened on Sunday to scrutinize the country’s agreements with Israel and explore the possibility of prosecuting Israeli leaders in the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The meeting, which included experts in international and constitutional law, focused on legal accountability and discussed the potential for establishing a framework to sue Israeli leaders as war criminals for alleged actions against Palestinians in Gaza.
Jordan Reviewing Accords with Israel
The committee conducted a comprehensive review of accords signed with Israel and deliberated on the potential for legal action against Israeli settlers involved in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. The objective is to explore avenues for holding individuals accountable for actions deemed violations of international law.
Jordan’s MP Ghazi Thneibat stated that the committee aims to examine key Jordan’s interests in the context of these agreements and explore all available options. The recommendations resulting from these deliberations will be presented to the Lower House and subsequently to the government for further consideration.
