The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to begin two days of public hearings in a case brought by Nicaragua over Germany’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
Nicaragua, which will address the court in The Hague on Monday morning, is alleging Germany, which provides a reported 30 percent of the Israeli military’s weapons, is violating its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Germany will respond on Tuesday, with a Foreign Ministry spokesperson saying Berlin rejects Nicaragua’s accusations and has not breached either the Genocide Convention or international humanitarian law.
