Prime Minister of Palestine welcomed the decision issued by the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor (ICC) to open a formal investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes in Palestine. 

"We will cooperate with the court and provide it with all the data needed to fasten the investigations," Mohammad Shtayyeh said. 

He called on Joe Biden's administration to turn its promises into actions to stop the Israeli expansionist settlement. 

"Besides the coronavirus spread in Palestine, we also confront the Israeli virus of settlement which seeks to undermine the efforts made to establish a Palestinian State," Shtayyeh said. 

He condemned the Israeli authorities' evacuations of Jerusalemite families and native citizens from their homes.

He also called on the international institutions of human rights to step in and stop evacuating Palestinian homes, appealing to the whole world to stop Israel's plans in Palestine.
