"International Criminal Court judges have called on the court's prosecutor to reconsider her decision not to investigate the storming by Israel of an aid flotilla that was heading to Gaza.
Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda last year declined a request by the Union Comoros to launch a probe into the May 31, 2010, storming of one of the flotilla vessels, which was sailing under a Comoros flag...
Judges ruled Thursday that Bensouda made 'material errors in her determination of the gravity' of the case.
'The Hague court already ruled that no war crimes were committed on the Marmara,' said Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely. 'It's very strange to me that the court decided to open an investigation against soldiers who protected themselves against a brutal attack by terrorists who were on the Marmara.
There are Palestinian elements that are always trying to invite international bodies against Israel. I hope those bodies succeed in identifying the incitement and not lend it a hand. With this decision, the court is turning itself into a tool of Palestinian propaganda...'
A 2011 probe by the Israeli government found that soldiers had opened fire in self-defense and had acted properly."
