Nicaragua has filed a case against Germany at the International Court of Justice, accusing the country of "facilitating the commission of genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza through its arms exports to Israel. Germany has rejected the allegations, stating that it is standing by Israel's right to existence and has reduced arms exports to Israel. The case could set a precedent for holding other countries accountable for complicity in genocide, and comes amid growing pressure on Israel's Western allies over their support for the military campaign in Gaza.

Germany strongly rejects Nicaragua's allegations at the International Court of Justice, arguing that the accusations have no basis in fact or law. Nicaragua seeks provisional measures to halt German military aid to Israel, claiming it enables acts of genocide and breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza. Germany contends that it has only licensed a few exports of weapons to Israel and continues to provide humanitarian support to Palestinians. The court will likely take weeks to deliver its preliminary decision, and Nicaragua's case will probably drag on for years. Israel denies that its assault amounts to genocidal acts, citing self-defense against Hamas-led militants.

The court will likely take weeks to deliver its preliminary decision, and the bigger case could take years to finalize.
