Israel Ponders Legal Status of Jericho Terrorists
(Jerusalem Post) Dan Izenberg - Israel's Justice Ministry announced on Wednesday it would be holding meetings "regarding those arrested in Jericho, the continuation of their detention, and the question of their being put on trial," ministry spokesman Ya'acov Galanti said. The PA says it would be a violation of international law for Israel to try the detainees, who were already tried by a PA court. However, Ruth Lapidot, an expert on international law, said Israel was entitled to try the detainees because the crimes they committed were carried out in Israel.
