Further, the Executive Committee decided to request the ICC to start a judicial inquiry into Israeli settlements, racial discrimination and the ongoing ethnic cleansing in and around Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley and the area south of Hebron.

The Executive Committee said the aim of this request is to hold Israeli politicians and military and security officials accountable and bring them before international justice in accordance with the Rome Statute of the ICC, which considers settlements as a war crime. It said this is also in line with the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the occupying power from transferring its citizens to the territory under its occupation.
