Members of Jordan’s Lower House legal committee on Sunday met with experts in international and constitutional law to scrutinize the country’s agreements with Israel and investigate the possibility of prosecuting Israeli leaders in the International Criminal Court, the Jordan News Agency reported.
Committee attendees, focusing on legal accountability, discussed establishing a legal framework to potentially sue Israeli leaders as war criminals for alleged actions against Palestinians in Gaza. In-depth reviews of accords signed with Israel were also carried out.
In addition, the committee considered legal action against Israeli settlers who committed violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Jordanian MP Ghazi Thneibat said the committee would examine key Jordanian interests and explore all options before presenting its recommendations to the Lower House and then the government.
