"ICJ Holds Hearings on Legality of Israeli Occupation of Palestinian Land"

The International Court of Justice is set to hear a case against Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, with 52 countries presenting arguments on Israeli policies in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The case was triggered by a UN General Assembly request, and the court will consider the legal consequences of the occupation. This case is separate from South Africa's case alleging genocide in Gaza. The court's ruling, likely to be released later this year, may carry significant weight in pressuring Israel and the US to conform to international law.
