This applies to both Hamas’s attacks in Israel, and Israel’s closure and bombing of Gaza. This is what SV’s foreign policy spokesperson, Ingrid Fiskaa, told news. Get an overview of the attack on Saturday: Calls on the government Fiskaa and SV think the government in Norway must advocate for such an investigation. – The government must take action to ensure that these violations of international law are investigated, so that the truth can emerge and those responsible can be prosecuted and sentenced, says Fiskaa. The International Criminal Court (ICC) can prosecute individuals for, among other things, war crimes on behalf of countries that are unwilling or unable to do so themselves.

Four days after the invasion, they asked the ICC to start an investigation. She believes that you must act quickly in order not to miss out on documentation. – This quick decision ensured early documentation of violations of international law and an indictment against Putin, says Fiskaa. Huitfeldt: – Very concerned – We are very concerned about the situation in Israel and Palestine, also about possible war crimes, Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt replies in a written comment to news. She points out that the ICC started investigating possible war crimes committed in Palestine already in 2021. – At the same time, the national authorities in Israel and Palestine have the main responsibility for investigating possible crimes committed within their jurisdiction. Norway encourages all states and actors to cooperate in the investigation and prosecution of the most serious international crimes, writes Huitfeldt. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said on Wednesday that the attack carried out by Hamas against Israel cannot be described as anything other than terrorism and war crimes. – Let me make it absolutely clear: An organization that has planned, carried out and taken responsibility for such terrorist acts must be able to be characterized as a terrorist organisation. Dot. Finish talking, says the Prime Minister. news explains the most important coverage: Still tense situation On the fourth day after the attack, the situation is still tense in Israel and in the Palestinian territories.
