"Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki plans to present details of the arson attack on a home in the village of Duma to the UN Human Rights Council on Monday. In the attack, 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha was burned to death, and several other family members were badly injured.
The PA's representative at Commission headquarters in Geneva, Ibrahim Hirisha, said that PA officials would be arriving Monday to testify. Israeli officials had no comment on the announcement.
On Sunday, a long line of Israeli officials slammed the arson attack at Duma. 'I have instructed security and law-enforcement officials to use all legal means at their disposal to apprehend the murderers and deal with the stabber and the arsonists to the fullest extent of the law,' said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. 'We are determined to vigorously fight manifestations of hate, fanaticism and terrorism from whatever side.'...
Earlier, PA officials had said that they would submit the case to the International Criminal Court. No date has been set for that yet, however. Earlier Sunday, PA chief Mahmoud Abbas said that the arson in Duma was 'a war crime' and 'a crime against humanity.' Israel, he said, was 'acting like ISIS,' and the country needed to 'choose between ISIS and peace, between Jewish terrorists and peace.' If Israel did not 'change its ways,' he threatened, 'the Palestinians may change their ways.'..."
