"World Court's Historic Debate: Arab States and Turkey Challenge Israeli Occupation"
TL;DR Summary
Arab states and Turkey have urged the International Court of Justice to declare the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories illegal, with Turkey describing it as the "real obstacle to peace." The court has been hearing arguments from over 50 states following a request by the U.N. General Assembly, and is expected to issue a non-binding opinion on the occupation. Israel, not participating in the hearings, has expressed concerns about the court's involvement, while the United States has urged the court to limit its advisory opinion. The court is expected to take roughly six months to issue its decision.
