Rivlin urges Ban to take a stand against Palestinian ICC bid

President Reuven Rivlin urged UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to take a stand against the Palestinian attempt to bring IDF soldiers and Israeli leaders in front of the International Criminal Court (ICC), he told Ynet in an interview on Tuesday.

 

“I told the UN secretary general that President (Mahmoud) Abbas’ appeal (to the ICC) is like aiming an unconventional weapon at Israel,” Rivlin said.

 

“The IDF is the most ethical army in the world,” Rivlin told Ban. “Our soldiers are our children, and I have no doubt that we know how to investigate every event which took place during a conflict that was forced upon us, and to draw every necessary conclusion – there is no force in Israel stronger than the law.”
