Landmark opinion by International Court of Justice adds to Israel’s diplomatic isolation
Israel’s 57-year-old occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank is illegal under international law, the UN’s highest court said on Friday, casting the Jewish state’s conduct towards Palestinians living under its military’s control as a decades-long violation of their rights.
” All elements of the ICJ’s findings were backed by a majority of the court’s 15 judges, though the exact number varied for different rulings. The advisory opinion, requested before the war between Israel and Hamas was triggered by the Palestinian militant group’s October 7 attack, is one of three separate international legal challenges that Israel is fighting.
