court has jurisdiction for opening a criminal investigation into the activities of israel and the hamas leadership for alleged war crimes in east jerusalem gaza and the west bank the palestinians have said that this is a victory for the victims they say it's a landmark historic decision but as expected the israelis for some time have been campaigning against precisely what was announced today back in february the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had this to say when the i.c.c. investigate israel for 3 workrooms this is pure anti semitic. as prime minister of israel are you sure we will forward this barrage of justice with our might. what this means is that hundreds of these raids could find themselves out on the wrong side of the law and we're talking here about the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu white auntie's ministers and even ordinary soldiers the country's defense minister benny gantz has said that he's never been afraid of crossing over in the lines and this announcement doesn't make him feel full either you have for years had human rights organizations who has

is going to investigate groups like hamas or that they would investigate palestinian officials had the prosecutor's already made it clear that that does fall within the scope of the referral and so yes i mean i would have no reason to think that that she wouldn't do that i think it's been clear she hasn't the previous speakers suggested that there was something a bit suspicious about the fact that she didn't mention the palestinian authority but i don't think there can be any doubt from the statement she's made that the palestinian authority is also include everybody who is on the territory of palestine or who is done acts that effect that there. is in principle. subject to the jurisdiction that could be investigated by her but like all prosecutors she keeps her cards close to her vest which is normal and appropriate and we'll have to wait and see from her actions what she does but she has made statements making it clear that she's investigating come out and i believe the palestinian authority and any other individuals on the territory raj if investigators from the i.c.c. don't have ac

fact to bensouda name the israeli army of course but palestinian groups also such as hamas as possible perpetrators of these war crimes what will be the reaction there from these armed palestinian groups especially at a time when different palestinian factions have tried to unite and bring about more unity within palestine. when the prosecutor said that she believes that there are grounds for opening an investigation that was late in 2019 we've seek the reaction from the palestinian factions including hamas and they have said that they are welcoming that they are what they want to have and investigation by the international criminal court the palestinian factions are arguing and there have been arguing for years now that they are part of the armed resistance as part of their legal. opposition and resistance against the illegal israeli occupation and this is why they hope that the i.c.c. would focus on the israeli crimes when it comes to the gaza wars but also and most importantly the ongoing in continuous illegal settlement construction in the occupied west bank need to abraham in the

some of the things that are going to be investigated include actions of hamas in kidnapping three islly shoulders -- israeli soldiers in 2013. they welcome this decision. they say it is an historic day for accountability and they call on the prosecutor without fear or favor not to be intimidated by any international actions taken by israel and to investigate what they call israeli crimes against the palestinian people. >> thank you very much, indeed, for bringing this that reaction. we will follow the story very closely. a crime investigation launched by the international criminal court into the conduct of his israeli troops and palestinian clarifying further by saying that there will be other instance investigated, such as the 2014 kidnapping of three soldiers by the hamas militants in the gaza strip. next, at least 38 protesters against the military coup in myanmar have been killed this o wednesday. soldiers firing life bullet at peaceful protesters calling for the reinstatement of civilian rule. asean has called for restraint in myanmar and a peaceful solution. observers point out

the occupied palestinian territory in 2014 it says it will also look into the actions of gaza based hamas and other palestinian groups during the conflict need abraham is in ramallah with more. one of the main issues that the palestinians hope that the i.c.c. would investigate is the illegal israeli settlement on the ground they hope the prosecutor would look into this as the main violation of international law and they believe that this has been a policy boy is really authority it's not just a war crime here or that they believe that the foreign minister has released the statement as you mentioned and they say that this has been continuing and if these were crimes are ongoing which is why they want to i.c.c. to investigate and conclude its investigation urgent. myanmar has seen its bloodiest day of violence yet untitled protests with at least 20 demonstrators killed security forces fired live ammunition in an attempt to break up the gatherings in several cities protestors are defying an increasingly violent crackdown to demand an end to the military takeover u.s. capitol police say it ha

a must by definition, hamas will be found guilty of war crimes. it is much more difficult and there are more questis of international law involved. i'm skeptical about a positive out come as marc is -- which is not to say work crimes were not committed. the question is not know what happened but what we can prove happened. starting with that, as far as netanyahu -- first, as a jewish person, using anti-semitism, even worse, using the holocaust to show israel from began best to get it for potential work crimes, is remarkably contemptible and deeply offensive to me personally and i think too many jews around the world. the issue is very simple. if you committed war crimes, should be investigated. if you did not, what are you worried about? there is that point and there's also, you know, the fact is a major complaint against the icc has been it is almost solely focused on africa with yugoslavia having been the only real exception of until now. we will see where this goes, but it is a fair criticism to say that the icc has not applied standards of jus

oddly enough, hamas has, which is the power that rules in gaza, an organization that is labeled terroristanization by the united states and many european governments, has welcomed the investigation even though it is like israel specifically named as part of this investigation. i think perhaps hamas is rather enjoying what the israelis find repugnant, which is some kind of potential moral equivalent given that they've been lumped into the same investigation. those investigations focus on the actions of israel and the palestinian armed groups during the gaza war in which there were casualties, heavy casualties particularly on the palestinian side. casualties during the so-called marches and rush back in 2018 and there were casualties on both sides. and then problematic from the israeli perspective, investigations into the continuing spread of jewish settlements on the west bank. israelis promising that they're going to fight this all the way. >> all right. sam kiley in jerusalem. thank you so much for that. appreciate it. >>> and stay with cnn. we're following breaking news that the duke of
