THE United Nations’ top court is due to start preliminary hearings tomorrow in a Nicaraguan case seeking an end to German military and other aid to Israel, arguing that Berlin is facilitating acts of genocide and breaches of international law in Gaza.
While the case at the International Court of Justice centres on Germany, it indirectly targets Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians since being sparked by the October 7 Hamas attacks on southern Israel.
Nicaragua has asked the court to hand down preliminary orders known as provisional measures including that Germany “immediately suspend its aid to Israel, in particular its military assistance including military equipment, in so far as this aid may be used in the violation of the Genocide Convention” and international law.
