Hamas to Establish an Organization to Try Israeli “War Criminals”

The Legislative Council in the Gaza Strip authorized a proposed law to establish an “independent Palestinian authority to try the crimes of the occupation against the Palestinians.”

Ahmed Bahar, Hamas activist and deputy chairman of the council, said that the objective of the organization would be to document the “crimes of the Zionist occupation against the Palestinian people, especially in light of the crimes carried out daily against the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and the prisoners in Israeli jails.”

He said that the authority would operate “with all local and international legal institutions to try the war criminals” (Hamas’ Palestine-info website, October 6, 2010).
