Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas signed onto the International Criminal Court last night, a day after the Palestinian statehood resolution failed at the UN Security Council. 




Abbas's application to the ICC was just one of 20 applications that he signed last night, for Palestinian membership in different international organizations and treaties. The move paves the way for a possible war crimes probe against Israel at the ICC. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to respond to the move, and the White House called the Palestinian decision “deeply troubling.” Chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat announced that the applications would go into effect in 90 days

We have our legal correspondent Yonah Bob on the line, to provide some insight into what this move at the ICC means for Israel. Yonah, what impact could this have on Israel? 

It was announced this morning that Prime Minister Netanyahu won the first slot in the Likud primary. 

Netanyahu garnered 75 percent of the vote, assuring his hold on the chairmanship of Israel's ruling party. His challenger, Danny Danon, got 19 percent of the vote. The initial results from the primary have been trickling in today and with 50 percent of the vote counted, Yuli Edelstein was leading the race for the No. 2 slot. According to the early count, Moshe Feiglin was among those who would be left off the Likud list.

And as people around the world bid farewell to 2014 last night, JPost TV took to the streets of Jerusalem to find how people were ringing in the new year.
