The Palestinians claim the territories for their own state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.<br>In a statement after its ruling, The Hague-based judges laid out the limits of the world court&#8217;s jurisdiction, saying the court was &#8220;not constitutionally competent to determine matters of statehood,&#8221; nor would it adjudicate border disputes between the sides.<br>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision, saying the ICC, which Israel does not recognize, had once again proven that it was a political, and not a legal, institution.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Criminal Court (ICC) ruled Friday for its jurisdiction to extended to Palestinian territories&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c59-islamic-world"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
