Saudi Gazette: “Arabs take first step to sue Israel”
You guys gotta see this….
…….Sabri Saydam, a member of the Crisis Cell for Gaza at Abbas’s office had said earlier this week at a Gaza reconstruction conference in Dubai that 300 legal suits against Israel have been made and that the number could go up to 500 claims.
“This is the biggest holocaust after Rwanda and World War II,” he said.
Saydam added that Israel has to be pressed into paying compensation for crimes going back to 1948. Around 700 photographs have also been gathered and another 300 are to be added to a collection created as evidence to sue Israel, he said.
Israel’s recent air and ground bombardment of Gaza killed 1,300 Palestinians, wounded thousands more and devastated Gaza’s infrastructure, causing a huge humanitarian crisis.
Once the Israeli war crimes are compiled, a memo will be presented to a probe committee composed of Arab and international personalities, the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA said Friday
The committee will document Israeli violations and crimes in collaboration with the people of Gaza, civil society organizations, and UN agencies, mainly the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the unnamed source cited by KUNA said in news remarks.
Egypt will send its memo to UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) investigators, who have asked Cairo for information on Israeli violations in the Palestinian territory, the source said.
