The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said Israel should stop settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and end its "illegal" occupation of those areas as soon as possible.
The court's advisory opinion is not legally binding but still carries significant political weight. It marks the first time the ICJ has delivered a position on the legality of the 57-year occupation.
The ICJ, based at The Hague in the Netherlands, has been examining the issue since the beginning of last year, at the request of the UN General Assembly.

So do u condemn illegal Settlement in occupied Palestine??

Lmao they have to say “advisory opinion” to down play it. But when it is Russia then it is illegal occupation. You’re a joke
-
"We have to leave it there" This is the biggest news of the week/month and BBC just brushed past it. Disgraceful.
-
I think that much of the world already knew that.
-
Is it not interesting how, instead of allowing viewers the chance to hear the main finding the court, the BBC suddenly cut in with their reporter/talking head giving his take on what the court said?

Settlers have civil law, Palestinians military law. Settlers in the West Bank have swimming pools and fish ponds, Palestinians need a permit to collect rainwater or dig a well on their lands. There are roads and areas for Jews only,Palestinians have to go through roadblocks. Apartheid?

Why BBC uses a voice over for de declarations of ICJ, when the declarations were read in english?

“Hostile”? Is that what we’re calling verdicts grounded in reality now? So should convicted criminals be able to say that to judges as well? “That’s a hostile verdic. It hurts my feelings and offends me. The harm I have caused is irrelevant because I’m special and have never had to be held accountable before😢”
-
That’s not the headline BBC. The headline is that they said it’s apartheid!
-
Some people may even recall Germany's illegal occupation of Poland in 1939.
-
“A pretty hostile verdict to Israel” Nah mate it’s not what you wanted to hear that’s all!
-
If occupation is illegal, how is resistance condemned?
-
Are we still going to fund them?
-
It's for over 70 years
-
Yet they claim to have the right to defend themselves.
-
The UN said this years ago.
