Top Palestinian officials Friday urged the world's only permanent war crimes court to speed up a probe into allegations of Zionist abuses amid an upsurge of attacks against the Palestinians in West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

"It is extremely important to expedite the process... because if Israel feels impunity, what will deter Israel from multiplying the victims?" said Palestinian foreign minister Riad al-Malki.

He was speaking after handing over a new dossier to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) "making reference to the extra-judicial killings, home demolition and collective punishments."

It also cited examples "in the last 40 days of Israeli aggression."

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas met Friday with prosecutor Fatou Bensouda for the first time since the Palestinian Authority sparked controversy by joining the tribunal in January.

The daily Zionist attacks and almost daily clashes and knife operations have triggered fears they may herald the start of a third Palestinian uprising, or intifada.

Malki said he had handed the new "well-prepared document" to Bensouda earlier in the day.

Some 2,200 Palestinians were killed in the 50-day Zionist war in July and August 2014, as well.

The Palestinian delegation had also urged ICC officials to visit the territories, but were told they were "awaiting approval from the Israeli side," Malki said.
