Lawyer representing Palestinian victims at ICC: court's decision is 'historic'

Triestino Mariniello, a lawyer representing Palestinian victims at the ICC told Middle East Eye that the court's decision to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant is "historic."

He noted that the court had endured "pressure and threats of sanctions" from the US government, but acted nonetheless.

"That's an important step for its legitimacy and credibility," he told MEE. "It's important step for Palestinian victims. It's a historic day for anyone who believes in justice for every victim independently of the power of the culprits."
