Earlier in the day, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, signed the documents necessary for Palestine to join 20 international organizations, including the ICC.The move would enable Palestinians to take action against Israel for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC has the legal authority to prosecute individuals for war crimes.”It will badly damage the atmosphere with the very people with whom they ultimately need to make peace,” the US statement said.”As we’ve said before, the United States continues to strongly oppose actions — by both parties — that undermine trust and create doubts about their commitment to a negotiated peace. Our position has not changed. Such actions only push the parties further apart.”
