\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> I’ve been wanting to ask about the ICC.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF: <\/strong>Okay. Go on.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> Yesterday, President Obama spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and he told him that they disagree that – with the Palestinian effort at the ICC, of course.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF: <\/strong>Yes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> But he also said that they are not eligible for that. But —<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> They’re not what? I’m sorry.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> They’re not eligible. The Palestinians are not —<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> Eligible, yes. Sorry.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> Eligible, excuse me. Not eligible, okay.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> Not eligible, yes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> Not – that’s what I said. Okay. I’m not being legible, I guess. All right, so – he say that they are not. So —<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> And that’s our position.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> And that’s your position. But the United Nations seems to disagree. They say that they do have a right to —<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> Well, the view of the United States is the Palestinians have not yet established a state.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> Right.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> So neither the steps they have taken, nor the actions the UN Secretariat has taken that we’ve talked about a lot in this room, warrant the conclusion the Palestinians have established a state or have the legal competencies necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Rome statute. That is our legal position here.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> Mm-hmm. But they can, actually, through the avenue of the (inaudible) Geneva Convention they can actually pursue that.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> Well, we do not believe that they have taken the steps necessary.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> Because conquering a country cannot change the demographics and the geography of the conquered territory —<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MS. HARF:<\/strong> Our position is what it is.<\/p><\/div>\n
