Palestinians Plan for "Day After" Peace Talks Fail
(Washington Post) William Booth and Ruth Eglash - If U.S.-brokered peace talks collapse in coming days, Palestinians say their options range from urging international boycotts against Israel, holding mass protests, unilaterally seeking more recognition at the UN, and trying to take a case against Israel to the International Criminal Court, alleging that the Israeli military has committed war crimes in the West Bank. "It is a huge bluff," said Alan Baker, an expert on international law and a former Israeli ambassador to Canada, adding that it was doubtful that the Palestinians could persuade the International Criminal Court to hear their case.
