Today, Palestinian Authority prime minister Mohamed Shtayyeh called on the International Criminal Court to find the soldiers who killed Mustafa al-Kastouni this morning and hold them accountable.
He's making it sound like Kastouni was an innocent civilian bystander, just minding his own business.
Yet at the same time, Al Jazeera issued an obituary of al-Kastouni, saying that he has been a "fighter since childhood" and says explicitly that he had a weapon and was engaging in battle when he was killed.
It also says he has been throwing firebombs at Israeli soldiers since he was a child.
I don't think even the ICC would find Israel guilty of shooting an armed man who was shooting at them as they attempted to arrest his brother.
