Israeli occupation forces from Gaza Strip , bring Israeli leaders to
the International Criminal Court for their crimes in the strip.

who have alive conscience in the world, president said.

He said that the Arab and Islamic world expects a US and European
stance which fits with their calls for respecting human rights and
combating terror as what is going on now in Gaza is a state terror
against Palestinians.

implementing international resolution associated with Israel.

the Palestine in self defense.
