Developing nations condemn Israeli incursions

DEVELOPING nations yesterday agreed on draft recommendations that Israeli incursions into Palestinian areas be treated as war crimes, delegates said.

The head of the Palestinian delegation to the UN, Nasser al-Kidwa, attending the summit of the 114-member Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Malaysia, welcomed the draft as an important step forward.

The draft calls for the application of legal measures in relation to war crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian lands, including Jerusalem, Kidwa said.
