Israel Doubts ICC Probe Will Lead to Full Investigation
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Yonah Jeremy Bob - A senior Israeli official called the submission to the ICC "an abuse of process." With the submission "being three years after the event," the event does not meet the "gravity requirement" (the ICC typically only handles cases in which many more persons were killed). "It is hard to see it going anywhere," he concluded. An Israel Foreign Ministry official stressed that the suit was not filed on behalf of the Turkish government.
