Palestinian UN Representative: Gaza Rockets Crime Against Humanity

Palestinian envoy to UN Human Rights Council says Hamas rockets are ‘crimes against humanity’, while Israeli strikes are legal.

The Palestinian Authority’s envoy to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has said the PA has no hope of pressing charges against Israel in international courts – because Palestinian terrorist groups are far worse violators of international law themselves, namely being guilty of a “crime against humanity.”

The envoy, Ibrahim Khreisheh, indicated in the interview on Palestinian Authority TV that such a sentiment might be politically unpopular, noting that he is “not a candidate in any Palestinian elections, so I don’t need to win popularity among the Palestinians.” Khreisheh went on to say that the Israeli army warned Palestinians living in Gaza to evacuate before a bombardment.

The interview was translated by MEMRI – the Middle East Media Research Institute.
