"Nicaragua's Case Against Germany: UN Court Hears Dispute Over Gaza Conflict"

Nicaragua has brought a case to the International Court of Justice accusing Germany of enabling acts of genocide and breaches of international humanitarian law in the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Nicaragua is calling for the court to order Germany to halt military aid to Israel and resume funding to the UN aid agency in Gaza. The case indirectly targets Israel's military campaign in Gaza, with Israel denying genocidal acts and asserting self-defense. The court will likely take weeks to deliver its preliminary decision, and the case is expected to continue for years. The hearing comes amid growing calls for allies to stop supplying arms to Israel, with the UN's top human rights body and British jurists urging countries to halt arms sales to Israel.
