Palestinians to join International Criminal Court
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says the Palestinians will join the International Criminal Court  a move that sets the stage for filing a war crimes case against Israel.
     
Abbas made the announcement in the West Bank on Wednesday, a day after the U.N. Security Council failed to pass a resolution that had aimed to set a deadline for Israel to end its occupation of territories sought by the Palestinians.
     
Abbas had warned that if the resolution failed, he would resume a Palestinian campaign to join international organizations to put pressure on Israel.
     
Abbas' decision is expected to trigger a harsh response from Israel.
     
Israel says all disputes should be resolved through peace talks, and such actions are aimed at bypassing negotiations.
