I'm really surprised this hasn't seen more attention today.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has formally launched a bid to join the International Criminal Court (ICC).
....
Membership could see the Palestinians pursue Israel on war crimes charges, and the move was quickly condemned by Israel's prime minister.
The move follows the rejection of a UN Security Council resolution demanding an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories by late 2017.
Sorry to be so brief but I wanted to keep my personal opinions out of this one.
