A Malaysian NGO has filed a lawsuit with the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing Israel of committing crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The ICC prosecution panel is expected to finish analyzing data and evidence within several months before an indictment will be officially leveled against Israeli leaders, according to the Malaysian foundation MyAqsa.
Lawyer Azreel Ameen, head of MyAqsa’s legal committee responsible for bringing the prosecution against Israel, stated that the lawsuit is based on many international laws and resolutions that criminalize the confiscation of Palestinians lands and the establishment of settlements on usurped lands.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki urged the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Fatou Bensouda, to begin immediate investigation into the situation of the Palestinians under Israeli occupation, on Wednesday.
During a meeting with Bensouda in The Hague, al-Malki said that the ICC should begin investigating Israeli measures in the occupied territories as soon as possible since the upcoming Israeli government intends to annex the West Bank and impose Israeli law on the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied territories in an illegal way.
He mentioned how the Israeli courts dropped the murder charge from the perpetrators of the arson attack at the Dawabshe family in the Duma village that resulted in the burning to death of an 18-month-old toddler and his parents as well as the serious injury of his brother.
Al-Malki said the Israeli legal system is not a fair one and is actually part of the Israeli military occupation system, which requires the ICC to bring justice to the Palestinian victims of Israeli atrocities.
He also expressed Palestine’s support for the ICC in light of the US threats against it, urging it to continue to do its work as required from it.
Al-Malki presented an annual report on the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people to Bensouda.
He also earlier submitted to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) an indictment list against the US for illegally moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Amiram Ben-Uliel, charged for the three murders
Several Palestinian organizations, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, denounced Israeli court’s exoneration of a member of an extremist Jewish settler suspected of committing the murder of three members of the Palestinian Dawabsha family, in 2015.
The July 31, 2015 firebomb attack of the Dawabsha home in the occupied West Bank village of Douma, killed an 18-month-old Palestinian child and his parents in the fire, who were all burnt to death, while the older son survived the attack, suffering from severe burns.
The father Saad, 32, mother Reham, 27, and 18-month-old Ali were killed in the attack.
Wafa News Agency reported that in a plea bargain, the murder charges were dropped against the murder suspect, when he claimed that he was a minor at the time of the attack.
The Ministry asserted that the court was complicit in the cover up for the murderers, calling it a crime in itself, and proclaimed that this “encourages other colonists to carry on murdering innocent Palestinians.”
Calling on the International Criminal Court, the Foreign Ministry demanded an immediate investigation into Israeli crimes against Palestinian civilians, claiming the Israeli judicial system has failed to provide justice for Palestinians under occupation, and is only used against them.
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the Palestinian Prisoners Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner Society, all strongly denounced the exoneration.
