Al-Haq, Al Mashan Center for Human Rights and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), submitted to the United Nations destroying Palestinian natural resources. The organizations provide a reasonable basis for believing that the private sector has committed the crimes of extensive destruction and appropriation of property, pillage, and destruction and seizure of property.
The secret communication provides factual information and legal badysis on the exploitation and destruction of Palestinian water, agricultural land, minerals, mud, stone, and oil. Mr. Shawan Jabarin, Al-Haq's General Director, said that "in situations of armed conflict, the trade and business of natural resources are strong incentives for war and violence, and provided the finances necessary to maintain and prolong an armed conflict. The situation in Palestine is a case of such exploitation, in which Israelis and private actors have been deliberately and openly exploiting Palestinian natural resources for at least five decades.

Israel, along with other international and Israeli non-state actors, including unrestricted access to Palestinian natural resources in the OPT, without the lawful consent of the occupied population, and only for the benefit of the Israeli economy and population, including illegal Israeli settlements. Israel has also allowed and encouraged private actors to exploit Palestinian natural resources. Such private actors include business enterprises in agricultural and industrial settlements, as well as Israeli and multinational corporations. Israel's unrestricted and unilateral exploitation of Palestinian natural resources will eventually lead to the depletion of Palestinian natural resources, to the detriment of the Palestinian population and the violation of Israel's customary international law obligations. Furthermore, the appropriation, destruction, seizure, and pillaging of Palestinian natural resources, social, economic, and environmental impact on the Palestinian communities, and particularly the Palestinians' infringe on fundamental right to self-determination.
Mr. Raji Sourani, PCHR Director, said that "considering crimes committed in relation to the exploitation of Palestinian natural resources and the colonization of the occupied territory, with complete impunity, the ICC Prosecutor must urgently open an investigation into the situation in Palestine."
