The argument has been made that recognition as a state, even in limited form, will give Palestine the standing that it probably lacks currently to seek prosecutions in the International Criminal Court for alleged violations of international law. Even if right, it is difficult to see why Israel and its friends should accept that as a make-or-break argument.
以色列阵营的观点是，承认其国家地位（即便是有限度的国家地位）会让巴勒斯坦拥有目前所没有的在国际刑事法庭提起违反国际法诉讼的权利。即使这一观点正确，也很难看出为什么以色列及其盟友必须把这视为关乎生死的大事。国际刑事法庭可不是私庭，不具实质内容的指控会依法驳回。
