"That plan also specifies that the Palestinian Authority, which controls the occupied West Bank, won't be allowed to play a part in that government until it has reformed "as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020." In the 2020 plan, the US says it will only recognize a Palestinian state if it ceases "judicial warfare against the state of Israel.""
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also talked about this in Washington, when he visited last month. "Genuine" reform of the Palestinian Authority must mean "ending lawfare against Israel at the ICC [and] the ICJ," Netanyahu said, referring to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, two courts of international law where cases against Israel are in progress."
The US-backed ceasefire plan envisions the Gaza Strip governed by a technocratic government and pauses fighting after two years. The plan bars the Palestinian Authority from participating until it enacts reforms specified in proposals including the 2020 US peace plan. The 2020 plan conditions recognition of a Palestinian state on an end to "judicial warfare against the state of Israel." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu equated genuine reform with ending lawfare at the ICC and ICJ. Multiple legal actions are underway: South Africa's ICJ genocide case against Israel, Nicaragua's ICJ case involving Germany, and ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.
