Nicaragua has hauled Germany before the International Court of Justice to stop Berlin from providing Israel with weapons and other assistance.
The United Nations' top court will rule today on charges by Nicaragua that Germany is breaching the 1948 Genocide Convention by supplying arms to Israel for the Gaza war.
More than 34,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory since Israel's war on Gaza broke out in October.Nicaragua targeted Germany rather than Israel's main ally, the United States because Washington did not recognise the ICJ's jurisdiction in the case, Managua's lawyers have said. Berlin retorted that Israel's security was at the"core" of its foreign policy and argued that Nicaragua had"grossly distorted" Germany's supply of military aid to Israel.
