[Ynet News] Roee Nahmias - Jordan has decided to postpone its mission to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported Wednesday. Earlier this week, the chairman of the Jordanian Parliament's Legal Committee, Mubarak Abu Yameen al-Abadi, announced his country would pursue legal action against Israeli officials for alleged war crimes committed during Israel's military operation in Gaza. Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter said Tuesday: "There is no greater hypocrisy than a country that just 39 years ago, during 1970s Black September, murdered 10,000 of its Palestinian residents, dealing with international crimes today....Jordan will not be the one to teach Israel about the ethics of warfare."
