Qatar meets with ICC president as it seeks legal action against Israel over attack on Hamas

# Qatar has met with the president of the International Criminal Court as it seeks legal action against Israel over its unprecedented strike on its territory last week. The emirate’s chief negotiator, Mohammed al-Khulaifi, met in The Hague with the president of the ICC, Judge Tomoko Akane, as it pursues every available legal and diplomatic avenue to ensure accountability for those responsible for Israel’s attack. Last week’s deadly Israeli strike targeted Qatar-based leaders of the Palestinian militant group Hamas and sent shock waves through the Gulf states.
