What will a war crimes probe in the Palestinian Territory achieve? | Inside Story

After nearly five years of preliminary examinations, the International Criminal Court has announced there is enough evidence to investigate alleged war crimes by Israelies and Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Palestine referred the case shortly after joining the court in 2015. The ICC's chief prosecutor is asking judges to first establish what territory the investigation would cover.
