📢 Important Update: The ICJ has declared Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian territories illegal and calls for its immediate end.
On July 19, the ICJ ruled that Israel’s occupation and settlement policies violate international law, amounting to de facto annexation. The court mandates that Israel end its unlawful presence, halt new settlements, evacuate settlers, and provide reparations for the harm caused by 57 years of systematic discrimination.
This ruling is significant as it is the first time a world court has addressed the inherent nature of Israel’s occupation, labeling it as unlawful and recognizing it as racial segregation and apartheid. This landmark decision sets a precedent in international law, influencing global policies and increasing legal and moral pressure on Israel to comply with international law.
