Abu Mazen is trying to climb down out of the International Criminal Court tree he climbed himself into.
The Lebanese newspaper Al-Achbar, reports that PA President Mahmoud “Abu Mazen” Abbas told the Egyptian president that if Israel restarts negotiations with him within the next few weeks, he won’t sue senior Israeli officials in the Hague.
The Israeli legal organization, Shurat Hadin / Israel Law Center, has already prepared and submitted multiple law suits to the ICC against senior PA officials, in preparation for the PA being accepted to the ICC.
Abbas may have woken up to the fact that he will be the one on the defendant’s chair soon enough.
