LONDON, (PIC)
London police said it recently launched an investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
The move has angered the Israeli government and led to a diplomatic tension with Britain.
The police have called on witnesses passing through British airports in the UK to report war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Israeli army in Gaza.
Signs in English, Hebrew, and Arabic for passengers at British airports reportedly say: “If you have been in Israel/Palestinian territories and have witnessed or been a victim of terrorism, war crimes or crimes against humanity, then you can report this to the UK police.”
“UK policing is supporting the work of the International Criminal Court, which is investigating alleged war crimes in Israel and Palestine from June 2014 onwards. Any evidence gathered may be shared with the ICC in support of their investigation,” the signs added.
Israel has objected to the British authorities about the investigation, but the police defended the probe, saying that under an international agreement they are obliged to help ICC in its investigations.
