<![CDATA[The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) under the 1998 Rome Statute faces challenges when international crimes involve non-States Parties, as evidenced by the Israel-Palestine case. While Palestine has been a State Party since 2015, Israel rejects the ICC's jurisdiction because it is not a State Party. This study aims to analyze the provisions regarding international crimes and ICC jurisdiction under the Rome Statute, as well as their application to the Israel-Palestine case. Employing a normative legal method with statutory and case-based approaches, the research analyzes the Rome Statute, the UN Charter, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, UN General Assembly Resolution 67/19 (2012), and the ICC ruling on the "Situation in the State of Palestine." The findings indicate that ICC jurisdiction over nationals of non-States Parties can be exercised through the principle of delegated territorial jurisdiction, pursuant to Article 12(2)(a) of the Rome Statute. However, the effective enforcement of this jurisdiction remains hindered by Israel's lack of cooperation and by international political pressure. Consequently, the ICC's primary challenge lies in strengthening its institutional legitimacy and enforcement capacity in upholding international criminal law.]]>
