International Court of Justice focuses on Israel action in Gaza

Palestinian representatives have given evidence to the International Court of Justice on the legality of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Israel is not among the 51 countries scheduled to speak at the hearings, which follow a 2022 request from the United Nations General Assembly for a non-binding opinion. But amid fresh calls for Israel to end military operations ahead of its planned expanded action in Rafah, its current offensives in Gaza have immediately become a focal point.
