ICJ Declares Israeli Occupation Illegal A Triumph for Palestinian Rights
The ICJ ruling that Israel must end its occupation & illegal settlements is a vindication of the legitimate struggle of the brave Palestinian people the prime minister wrote on his official X handle.
He urged the international community and the United Nations to implement the ruling, ensuring Palestinian self-determination through a two-state solution in line with relevant UN resolutions.
“Proud that Pakistan contributed to the case, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause,” he added.
The United Nation’s top court said in its opinion that Israel’s decades-long Occupation of Palestinian territory was illegal and needed to end as soon as possible.
International Court of Justice Was Welcomed by the Palestinian
The advisory opinion by The Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) was welcomed by the Palestinian presidency calling it historic.
The ICJ’s statement, called an advisory opinion, is not binding, but it comes amid mounting concerns over the death toll and destruction in Israel’s war on Gaza.
The court’s opinion is likely to increase diplomatic pressure on Israel, whose lawmakers voted on Thursday to oppose a Palestinian state, calling it an existential threat.
In The Hague, ICJ presiding judge Nawaf Salam said “The court has found that Israel’s continued presence in the Palestinian Territories is illegal.”
Israel is “under the obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence as rapidly as possible,” the judge said at the seat of the ICJ.
