thank you very much from ramallah need to abraham now you're going to aim is life for us now in west jerusalem and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has wasted no time in showing his condemnation of this decision . there is anger and defiance not only from prime minister benjamin netanyahu but other israeli officials it's important to note that the international criminal court or i.c.c. prosecutor did say that during the war in gaza in 2014 that she thought there was a reasonable basis to conclude that members of hamas as and other palestinian armed groups committed war crimes by targeting civilians and killing individuals torturing them sorry and torturing individuals this has been a very big topic of conversation among journalists on social media a short time ago a prominent journalist went on television and said that this is israel's most significant legal struggle in its history it is one that israeli officials anticipated even before the announcement this is a weekend the attorney general released a report detailing israel's legal arguments and a spokesman with the foreign min
