Any opinion delivered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) would be non-binding, but it comes amid mounting concern over Israel's war against Hamas sparked by the group's brutal October 7 attacks.
THE HAGUE - The UN's top court will on Friday hand down its view on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967, amid growing international pressure over the war in Gaza.
Judges will read their findings at 1300 GMT at the opulent Peace Palace in The Hague, the home of the ICJ. Most speakers too during the hearings called on Israel to end its 57-year occupation. They warned a prolonged occupation posed an"extreme danger" to stability in the Middle East and beyond. In June 1967, Israel crushed some of its Arab neighbours in a six-day war, seizing the West Bank including east Jerusalem from Jordan, the Golan Heights from Syria, and the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.The UN later declared the occupation of Palestinian territory illegal, and Cairo regained Sinai under its 1979 peace deal with Israel.
