Ramallah, Shawwal 30, 1435, Aug 26, 2014, SPA -- Palestinian Council of Ministers called on Tuesday upon all neighboring and friendly countries to urgently provide financial and humanitarian aid for the relief of Palestinian civilians' suffering in the war-battered Gaza. During its weekly session, the cabinet commended the Palestinian factions' approval to the Palestinian leadership's impending ratification of the Rome Convention in order to join the International Criminal Court, to adjudicate those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The council condemned the Israeli genocide and barbaric destruction of Gaza, as well as the international community's silence towards these crimes and toward the latest escalation of the shelling and complete destruction of residential towers and governmental buildings. --SPA 17:12 LOCAL TIME 14:12 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
