13. Situation in the State of Palestine

Investigations

45. The investigation, which commenced on 3 March 2021, is ongoing. It encompasses any alleged conduct by all sides that may amount to crimes under the Rome Statute committed since 13 June 2014 in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, including alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity that were not relied upon for the conclusion of the preliminary examination or that have occurred more recently. Against this background, the Office of the Prosecutor has also been looking further at particular areas and incidents as the possible primary focus of its investigative activities. In parallel, the Office has been collecting, preserving and analysing information, communications and evidence from various sources. The Office has engaged with relevant stakeholders, including civil society representatives, proactively exploring further avenues for cooperation and information-sharing. On 9 June 2022, the Prosecutor received the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine during his visit to the Court.
