"UN Court to Hear Case Accusing Germany of Facilitating Gaza Genocide"

The United Nations' top court is holding preliminary hearings in a case brought by Nicaragua, accusing Germany of facilitating Israel's war in Gaza and seeking an end to German military and other aid to Israel. Germany denies the accusations and asserts that it has not breached the genocide convention or international humanitarian law. The case indirectly targets Israel's military campaign in Gaza, and the court's decision on provisional measures is expected to take weeks. The case comes amid growing calls for allies to stop supplying arms to Israel, with the offensive in Gaza causing widespread displacement and a humanitarian crisis.
