The International Court of Justice (ICJ) commenced a week-long series of hearings on Monday to examine the legality of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. This historic event is notable for the participation of Palestine, 51 states, the Arab League, the African Union, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), all making submissions on the matter. The hearings, scheduled from February 19th to 26th, aim to provide an advisory non-binding legal opinion on the legal consequences of Israeli policies and practices in the occupied Palestinian territory. Over 52 states are expected to address the judges during this period, marking a significant international engagement on the issue. The deliberations will explore various aspects of the occupation, including claims of annexation and the establishment of settlements, with over 700,000 Israeli settlers mentioned. The legal teams will argue against the permanence of the occupation, with statements highlighting the bias within Israel's legal system and the systematic violation of international law by Israel.
