The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is conducting public hearings to gather views on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, with the final day of hearings marked by significant participation. Turkey, along with Arab states and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, has been vocal in its stance, emphasizing that the occupation is the root cause of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Turkey's Deputy Foreign Minister, Ahmet Yildiz, addressed the ICJ, urging the court to declare Israel's occupation illegal and highlighting it as a major obstacle to peace. The hearings are part of a process that will culminate in the ICJ issuing a non-binding legal opinion on the matter.
