The Palestinian Authority plans to file a complaint against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to a Palestinian official.

Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki will fly to The Hague soon to sue the U.S. administration over Trump’s recent decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Saleh Rafat, an executive committee member of the umbrella Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), told the official Voice of Palestine radio.

Trump’s decision has “violated all international laws and resolutions”, Rafat said, without giving further details about the complaint.

Al-Maliki will file another ICC complaint against Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman for “their involvement in crimes against the Palestinian people”, Rafat said.

Israel launches large-scale military exercise The Israel Defense Forces launched a large-scale military drill Sunday evening, which will continue seven days throughout the country, in order to prepare for a "possible major war", according to the local media report. The local media reported citing a military statement that the nationwide exercise launched with siren sounds.The Jewish settlements near the Gaza Strip were not involved in the exercise, the report said. On March 4, the Israeli army launched another joint drill with the U.S. military against a "possible attack" that could come from Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. That exercise is scheduled to continue until mid-March.The U.S. and Israeli armies have been conducting joint military exercises since 2001.In February, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a statement that Israel would use all of its power and mobilize the land forces to enter Lebanon if the Lebanese-based Hezbollah movement launched a war.Following the statement, the Lebanese Supreme Defense Council held a high-profile meeting on the "Security of Lebanon" at the Baabda Presidential Palace in the capital Beirut and ordered the military to prepare to confront any possible attack from Israel.

On Dec. 6, Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, triggering world outcry and protests across the Palestinian territories.

Jerusalem remains at the heart of the perennial Middle East conflict, with Palestinians hoping that East Jerusalem -- occupied by Israel since 1967 -- might eventually serve as the capital of an independent Palestinian state.

In late 2014, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed the Rome Statute, the ICC’s governing treaty.

In April 2015, Palestine has become an official member of the The Hague-based court.
