BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A delegation of 15 Palestinian lawyers will join in a conference in Cairo next week to discuss atrocities during Israel's recent offensive on the Gaza Strip, one of the lawyers said Saturday.Hussein Shabana told Ma'an that the lawyers would attend the conference on Sept. 11 and 12 and would return to Palestine with recommendations and reports to present to the Palestinian Authority.
A delegation of lawyers will then meet with Palestinian lawyers in the Gaza Strip on Sept. 13 to document Israeli war crimes during its assault, Shabana said.
Additionally, on the sidelines of the Cairo conference, the lawyers will meet with legal experts from Egypt and Latin American to discuss the PA's potential bid to join the International Criminal Court.
