Report: Israel Conditions Palestinian Cellular Network on War Crimes Probe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------



In other news, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting Israel has
threatened the Palestinian Authority with revoking a vital cell phone
network unless the PA drops a request for an International Criminal
Court probe of alleged Israeli war crimes. The PA submitted the request
after a UN inquiry found Israel had committed war crimes in its attack
on the Gaza Strip and recommended a potential ICC investigation. Israel
has reportedly warned it could judge the PA’s request for a second
cellular provider based on its willingness to withdraw the ICC demand.
