PA daily columnist calls to sue US officials who participated in Pilgrimage Road opening in 3 different courts
Excerpt of an op-ed by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, regular columnist for the official PA daily
Headline: “Trump’s team should be put on trial”
“The latest scandalous crime that Ambassador of [US President Donald] Trump’s administration in Israel [David] Friedman and President Trump’s advisor [Jason] Greenblatt committed against the Palestinian rights and interests in Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the State of Palestine… was participation… in the inauguration of a tunnel for the Israeli settlers, which is called ‘the Pilgrimage Road’ (see note below –Ed.). The tunnel connects the Zionist settlers’ neighborhoods to the Al-Buraq Wall (i.e., the Western Wall of the Temple Mount), and passes underneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque…
This direct American aggression from the Trump administration’s team towards the Palestinian rights and interests necessitates the concerned bodies to act as follows:
- To sue Greenblatt and Friedman in a Palestinian court and issue an arrest warrant against the two of them for a direct and scandalous assault on the Palestinian rights.
- To turn to the American legal system and submit a lawsuit against the two of them.
- To turn to the International Criminal Court and put the two of them on trial for the crime that they have committed.”
