Has the ICC prosecutor secretly colluded with the PA and already decided to prosecute Israel? A Jordanian news site says so

"In response to Palestinian complaints against Israel, the prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC), submitted in December 2019 a request to the ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber ostensibly asking the Chamber to confirm that the ICC has jurisdiction over 'the situation of Palestine' and to confirm that the territory 'comprises the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza.' Palestinian Media Watch and dozens of other organizations and governments submitted Amicus Curaie (Friends of the Court) briefs showing that according to international law there is no "State of Palestine" and therefore the court has no jurisdiction. The prosecutor is meant to respond to the Amicus briefs by the end of the month.

Now it turns out, according to the Jordanian Jafra News, that this entire pre-trial legal process to determine if the court has jurisdiction and its scope is actually a mere charade with the puppeteer pulling the strings of deception being the General Prosecutor of the ICC herself, Fatou Bensouda. A PA source in contact with the general prosecutor's office, told the Jordanian site that the request of the Prosecutor to the Pre-Trial Chamber was only initiated in order to protect 'the ICC's public image... in a sensitive investigation such as this,' but in fact the decision of the court already is that there is jurisdiction:

'The general prosecutor's office explained to the Palestinian side that it did not wait for the Preliminary Department's (i.e., Pre-Trial Chamber–Ed.) decision in order to begin preparations to open an investigation. This is because the aforementioned decision [that the ICC has jurisdiction] is a foregone conclusion, and a petition to this [Pre-Trial] Chamber was only done in the first place out of considerations related to protecting the ICC's public image and its proper activity, in the framework of its official authorities in a sensitive investigation such as this.'

This behind-the-scenes collusion led, according to the Jordanian report, to information being given by 'the ICC General Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and her staff' to the PA, indicating 'that the prosecutor's office has taken the necessary steps towards launching a comprehensive investigation of the Israeli occupation's crimes in the Palestinian West Bank,' even prior to the decision whether the court has jurisdiction at all. This report by Jafra News suggests that the ICC prosecutor is biased, lacks integrity, and therefore is incapable of conducting a fair proceeding concerning Israel...."
