UN-Court: Israel's settlement policy violates law
The Israeli settlement policy in occupied Palestinian territories, according to the International Court of Justice's view, violates international law. Israel is factually making itself accountable for annexation, the International Court of Justice in The Hague states in a legal opinion. The reading of the opinion is still ongoing.
The Netherlands, being a strong supporter of international law, has consistently urged Israel to adhere to the principles of justice and respect for Palestinian territories. The UN Security Council has repeatedly called for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflicts in the Palestinian territories, emphasizing the importance of respecting international law. In response to the International Court of Justice's opinion on Israel's settlement policy, several countries have expressed their concern and urged for a more equitable solution, including the Netherlands.
