Palestine has been seeking for the International Criminal Court to investigate war crimes against its people for over 10 years.  Late last year the Preliminary investigation by the ICC’s Prosecutor reported there is evidence of war crimes and they have jurisdiction to prosecute. Australia however is attempting to interfere with the process. 

Australia is trying to block a full and proper investigation of crimes that the international community think are most egregious – and they must not get in the way of justice!

SUMMARY:
Trump’s proposal delivers Israel 30% of West Bank, including the fertile Jordan Valley.  While it proposes a Palestinian State, the conditions and restrictions it imposes renders a State unviable.  The 181 page document reflects the current US administration’s deep sympathy with Israeli interests, and further encroaches on the legitimate basic rights of the Palestinian population. In response to the announcement, Israel has immediately begun processes to annex West Bank settlements.
