The International Court of Justice rejected a request from Nicaragua that Germany be forced to halt its military aid to Israel on Tuesday, arguing there was no legal basis for issuing such an order.
Nicaragua had accused Germany in March of “facilitating genocide” and “breaching the Genocide Convention” by supplying Israel with military and financial aid as it fights Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, a besieged Palestinian enclave.
In January, South Africa accused Israel of committing genocide in a separate case at the same court. The ICJ did not accept that claim in a preliminary ruling, but cautioned Israel to ensure that its forces don’t commit acts of genocide in their war with Hamas.
