Haartez.com: The Palestinians plan to turn to the United Nations Security Council on September 15 to demand a deadline be set for Israel’s withdrawal to 1967 borders, senior Fatah official Nabil Shaath told the Palestinian news agency Ma’an on Thursday.
If the Security Council rejects the initiative, Shaath said, the Palestinians would open their case against Israel at the International Criminal Court.
This is part of the “diplomatic surprise” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas promised last week, Shaath said.
The Arab League will meet in Cairo September 7-9 to discuss providing Abbas with an Arab umbrella of support. Abbas is already backed in principle by Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Meanwhile, the Jordanian newspaper Alghrad reported on Thursday that Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a secret meeting in Amman days before the cease-fire was signed ending the war in Gaza.
No details were given about the meeting, and no official from Jordan, Israel or the Palestinian Authority would confirm that it in fact happened.

Palestinians also play with the world the same mischief as their Israeli masters do. They keep telling that they would take the Israeli criminal leaders to international courts but have not done so even last month after reaching the ICC courts . They are not serious. They all want to get killed by Israel with US weapons. They keep using this threat only to get some money.
So pathetic. world Muslims are worried but they cant do anything to make the Palestinians serious about their plight as besieged salves. .
Should the ICC not prosecute Israel even without a request from Palestine?
