Fatah Wants Kerry Prosecuted by ICC for "Threatening" Abbas
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently threatened PA President Mahmoud Abbas that he would meet the same fate as his predecessor, Yasser Arafat, if he turned down Washington's proposals for peace with Israel, a Palestinian source was quoted Sunday by the website Rai al-Youm as saying. Jamal Muhaissen, a senior Fatah official in the West Bank, said, "If true, Kerry's threat paves the way for bringing him before the International Criminal Court for threatening the life of an elected Palestinian president."
