"International Court of Justice Hears U.S. Defense of Israeli Occupation"

Qatar condemns "double standards" at the International Court of Justice hearing on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, emphasizing that international law must apply to all countries. Representatives from various countries, including South Africa, Pakistan, Norway, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom, also express concerns about Israel's policies, with some referring to it as an "apartheid regime." The hearings aim to address the legal implications of Israel's occupation, settlement, and annexation, with the Palestinian officials seeking international legal institutions to investigate Israel's occupation, especially in light of the current war in Gaza.
