This paper examines the issue of Palestinian statehood, with the authors arguing that Palestinian interests should be addressed and realized at the negotiating table and not via the International Criminal Court (ICC). Inserting the issue of ICC jurisdiction into the present environment in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is likely to fortify Palestinian intransigence at the peace table, since PA negotiators will feel that they can fall back on unilateralist options instead of compromising in order to reach an agreement.
