The Palestinian people are committed to seeking freedom
 We are a collection of Palestinian groups and civil society organizations. We address our call to the Palestinian Authority, all Palestinian leaders, Israel, the American administration, the Arab states, the international community, and to all those of good will who support us in seeking our freedom and independence.
We issue a call of peace and love, a strong call that stems from the strength of our belief in God, his righteousness and his love for all mankind, at a time when we see that the potential to achieve our cause, i.e. our demand for freedom and independence, is diminishing. The American administration has disregarded our history and our rights in Jerusalem, our city of our prayer and faith, and the capital of our state. Israel is determined to maintain its military occupation over us, particularly in the siege imposed on Gaza, and is supported by the American administration which says that it will present "the deal of the century" to us.

However, Bensouda's cautious tone was obvious: "Violence against civilians - in a situation such as the one prevailing in Gaza - could constitute crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court." Giving Israel the benefit of the doubt, she added that the preliminary examination being conducted by her office "is not an investigation" and emphasised that the ICC will "continue to closely watch the situation and will record any instance of incitement or resort to unlawful force."

This followed two motions passed by Dublin City Council on Monday which were supported by Sinn Féin - one to expel the Israeli ambassador and the other to support the boycott campaign.
