.... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked visiting US lawmakers to help his regime dodge war crime charges related to Tel Avivs current aggression on the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu reportedly met with US officials on Wednesday, asking them to ensure that Palestinians’ strategy of going to the International Criminal Court (ICC) does not succeed. The development came as Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki met with ICC officials in The Hague earlier this week to file a complaint detailing war crimes committed by the Israeli army over the past few weeks in Palestine. Palestinian officials are also preparing to make a formal application to join the international tribunal. Netanyahu asked the US delegation of politicians to help his regime stay out of the ICC prosecution. Some 1,900 Palestinians, including more than 400 children, have been killed and over 9,500 others wounded since the beginning of Israel’s military attacks against the Gaza Strip on July 8. presstv.ir/detail/2014/08/07/374422/israel-asks-for-us-help-over-icc-charges/
