ICJ Considers Israel's "Occupation".

 Public hearings opened at the International Court of Justice in the Hague (ICJ) on Monday regarding the legal repercussions of Israel’s “ongoing occupation” of Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem.


The court is hearing arguments due to a request submitted by the U.N. General Assembly pursuant to a Dec. 30, 2022, resolution calling for an examination of the “Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.”

Hearings will be conducted for a full week at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the court.

Hearings opened with an oral statement by the “State of Palestine.”

Fifty-two states and three international organizations will participate in the oral proceedings before the court. Among the countries presenting are Belize, Bolivia, the Comoros, Cuba, the Maldives, Namibia and Syria.

In line with a decision made late last week, Israel has chosen not to send a representative, saying the court lacks jurisdiction to consider the matter.

  1. How quickly everyone has forgotten what Israel has been put through.
    Many times Hamas or similar have come against them
    How they have suffered .
    What does any nation do when they are attracted and their peoples murdered.
    All of us squash the enemy.
    As soon as Israel stops the enemy steps back in.
