PA Officials Threaten To Wage Campaign Of International Legal Warfare Against Israel

Palestinian Authority officials are now threatening to wage a campaign of international legal warfare against Israel, leveraging the upgraded status they secured via a diplomatic gambit at the United Nations last week. PA officials are raising the possibility that they will sue Israel over West Bank construction in the International Criminal Court. Such a move would risk politicizing the institution but would be in line with previous Palestinian diplomatic campaigns that saw Middle East controversies injected into, and eroding the credibility of, previously neutral international forums.
