Israel to Ask U.S. to Enforce Law Halting Aid to Palestinians over ICC Action
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - A senior Israeli official said Sunday that Jerusalem would ask the U.S. to enforce legislation passed by Congress last month stipulating that if the Palestinians initiate any action against Israel at the ICC, the State Department would have to stop American aid to the PA, which comes to some $400 million annually. Earlier Sunday, Foreign Ministry Director-General Nissim Ben Sheetrit said that in response to the Palestinian bid at the ICC, "Israel is about to switch from defense to attack mode."
