icj | Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, 19 July
It is recalled that, on 30 December 2022, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted resolution A/RES/77/247 in which, referring to Article 65 of the Statute of the Court, it requested the International Court of Justice to give an advisory opinion on the following questions:

"(a) What are the legal consequences arising from the ongoing violation by Israel of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, from its prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and from its adoption of related discriminatory legislation and measures?
(b) How do the policies and practices of Israel referred to . . . above affect the legal status of the occupation, and what are the legal consequences that arise for all States and the United Nations from this status?"

In its Advisory Opinion, the Court responds to the questions posed by the General Assembly by concluding that:

— the State of Israel's continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful;
— the State of Israel is under an obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible;
— the State of Israel is under an obligation to cease immediately all new settlement activities, and to evacuate all settlers from the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
— the State of Israel has the obligation to make reparation for the damage caused to all the natural or legal persons concerned in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
— all States are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory;
— international organizations, including the United Nations, are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and
— the United Nations, and especially the General Assembly, which requested the opinion, and the Security Council, should consider the precise modalities and further action required to bring to an end as rapidly as possible the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory

ICJ says Israel's policies, practices 'amount to annexation of large parts' of occupied Palestinian territory | Anadolu Agency |

Israel's settlement policy in occupied Palestinian territory is in breach of 4th Geneva Convention, says top UN court

The opinion was read out by Nawaf Salam, president of the world court, which unanimously found that it had jurisdiction to give the advisory opinion requested.

The court listed some of the policies and practices that "amount to annexation" such as the expansion of settlements, the exploitation of natural resources, the proclamation of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the comprehensive application of Israeli domestic law in East Jerusalem and its extensive application in the West Bank, entrenching Israel's control of the occupied Palestinian territory.

These policies and practices are designed to "maintain in place indefinitely ... and to create irreversible effects on the ground," the court said, adding that it is "not convinced" that extending Israeli law to the West Bank and East Jerusalem is justified.

The 15-judge panel of the court considered that "Israel is not entitled to sovereignty over or to exercise sovereign powers in any part of the occupied Palestinian territory on account of its occupation."

"Nor can Israel's security concerns override the principle of the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force," it added.

Israel's settlement policy is in breach of int'l law

On Israel's settlement policy, which included forcible evictions of protected populations, and the transfer of settlers, the court stressed the actions violate the 4th Geneva Convention.

The court noted "with grave concern reports that Israel's settlement policy has been expanding" since its 2004 advisory opinion. 

Israel's continued presence in occupied Palestinian territory 'unlawful'
The ICJ, by 11 votes to four, said Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is "unlawful," which should end "as rapidly as possible."

In a vote of 14 against one, the court urged Israel to "cease immediately all new settlement activities and to evacuate all settlers" from the occupied Palestinian territory, and that it has the obligation to make reparation for the damage caused to all the natural or legal persons concerned in the occupied Palestinian territory.

"All States are under an obligation not to recognize as legal the situation arising from the unlawful presence of the State of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by the continued presence of the State of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory," it suggested by 12 votes in favor and three against.

Did Israel know? @11:06-24:30

timesofisrael | IAF tracked drone that hit Tel Aviv for 6 minutes, but failed to classify it as threat (20.07.24)
A Houthi drone launched from Yemen that exploded in Tel Aviv early Friday [19 July] was tracked by the Israeli Air Force for at least six minutes before the attack that killed an Israeli man and wounded others, according to an initial probe carried out by the military.
[...]
According to military assessments, the drone did not follow a direct route to Israel from Yemen. The drone traversed Egypt and flew into Tel Aviv from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea at a low altitude, making a trip of over 2,000 (1,200 miles) kilometers to reach Israel. The Houthis are thought by the IDF to have modified the Iranian-made [Samad-3] drone so that it carried under 10 kilograms of explosives, down from its standard 18 kilograms. It was thus able to hold more fuel, fly for longer, and reach Israel.
