It was an eventful today at the court, with presentations from South Africa, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil and Chile.
Canada was also initially scheduled to present its arguments but decided to pull out at the last minute.
The question of whether the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is unlawful was very clearly answered by all 10 countries: It is absolutely unlawful and it should end immediately.
South Africa argued that this is a colonial apartheid system and that settlements have to be dismantled and reparations paid. Even countries that have very strong ties with Israel, like the Netherlands and Belgium, had very strong words of condemnation.
One legal argument that was very much dominant throughout the hearing was the permanence of the occupation. Israel has long argued that the occupation is temporary, but these countries have argued that there is no evidence that this is so.
That violates international law. There was condemnation for the defiance shown by Israel for the hundreds of resolutions that have been passed over the years.
Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen is going to continue monitoring this event tomorrow as these were only 10 of the more than 50 countries we will hear from over six days here at the Peace Palace in The Hague.

#ICJ #Palestine #Israel #UN #ICJHearing #IsraeliOccupation #IsraelIllegalOccupation #InternationalLaw #HumanRight #IsraelPalestineConflict
So many harsh words… so little action so far
This is useless…nothing will happend after this
*RULE RIGHTEOUSLY!!! GOD NEVER MADE MURDER LEGAL!!! DO YOU STAND WITH GOD OR DO YOU WITHSTAND THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS COMMANDMENT NOT TO KILL??? REMEMBER SATAN ONLY CAME TO DECIEVE, KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY!!!*
I like to know who was the first 10 countries, so let me guess , Iran, Syria, China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea…….😂
Free Palestine
The filthy Occupation!
UN is bogus
Blah blah blah
Legal arguments or propaganda bs
Hearing again??? 😮
The epitome of facts vs trust me bro
For as long as the US, the UK, and other European countries continue to supply Israel with any kind of weaponry (which we all know is mostly used on the Palestinian people) and to veto a UN ceasefire while being undoubtedly aware of the ongoing atrocities and violations, International Law is made a pitiful mockery of. What can be their reasons other than making money out of this dire conflict as well as not wanting to be held accountable for their ocasional flouting of international law themselves?
Let’s not forget that Land Bridge bringing in supplies for israel via Jordan, and with the cooperation of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and other Arab countries. That makes these countries words hollow and hypocritical.
It’s about personal political career advancement, we are a corrupt country and the public receive their BBC programming each day so they know what to think.
That can be said of both sides of this particular conflict. What did we really expect? No sane person either side wants to see suffering. But let’s not forget who started it. It has been a long standing issue starting before 7/10. And there are multiple nations including the uk with blood on their hands to some degree.

If you tell a Lie often enough, and Loud enough… it becomes Israel.
British geologist were drilling water wells in Iran and Palestine back in 1903… when they struck Oil. The USA and UK are the ones who started dividing up the Middle East and Persia. They said “these people are so backwards, so uneducated and so dumb, they will GIVE us this black tar… all they want is water” – 1903 …and the gaslighting began.
How much is Gaza oil and gas reserves worth?
Where is the oil in Gaza? There are huge fields of oil and gas under the sea 22 miles off the coast of Gaza. It is worth an estimated $524 billion and belongs to Gaza and the Palestinians. This the reason that Netanyahu wants to destroy Gaza and clear out the Palestinians, to take the land and the wealth.Nov 15, 2023
The tail wagging the dog:
In normal circumstances, before Oct. 7th, 2023, the United States of America Tax Payers have been GIVING Israel:
$3.8B a Year, GIVING every Israeli access to FREE Universal Healthcare and FREE College Tuition. The U.S. Tax Payers don’t get any.
That is:
$10.4M a Day
$430K and Hour
$7,229.00 a Minute
$120 a Second
All word,
All barks,
with no actions
What the heck are those people at the ICJ being paid for if everything they say is “non-binding” or “non-compelling”?!
Does Israel care? I doubt it. The plan is to make Gaza a wasteland.
All speakers misspoke. They said Israelis killed tens of thousands of Palestinians; they meant tens of thousands of terrorists.
South Africa talking about reparations 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine that, South Africa is worst government in Africa with Apartheid
Saudis talking about genocide. Hilarious. Are the Israelis responsible for yemen too? 😂
Free Palestine 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴
I’m from America, and all of us are against the South African apartheid case.
great show 👍
Thank you South Africa thanks to all who stand up for humanity.
Humanity will follow the Beast of Revelation
why cant they strip them of their statehood.
When you argue international law, Israel have no defense for what they have been doing for so long.
There is no occupation.. They rejected a state and dont have one to occupy.. Cant call for a state now, wont be rewarded for violence..
ARABS should turn to RUSSIA and CHINA for creation of ceasefire and creation of INDEPENDENT STATE OF PALESTINE!! Any other resolution in security council needs to be VETOED!!
Question araises what proportion of Israel is US : AND WHAT PROPORTION OF US IS ISRAEL…
NOW THAT ITS CONFIRMED ALLOY!
Seems like Israel is losing the information war, despite having an incredible amount of control over every corporate media entity. The tide seems to be turning away from Israel, and the sheer impunity with which they traditionally operated, with US complicity.
Yesh Atid should run country. They are a liberal zionist party by former pm yair lapid who beleives in a Palestinian state.
Yes even there are even zionists who want a 2 state solution.
💔My heart goes out to our Palestinian brothers and sisters, an eye for an eye. If you have to fight for your freedom in your own country, you are a freedom ..ter 💕
Shame on Canada and the US. History will remember your actions
South Africa nothing to do how many country of support terror Hamas group
Imagine having to listen to the western people for moral high ground. Wait we are smh 🤦♂️
People have money made the law.
What South Africa government Apartheid? This whole thing is like Russia suing Ukraine to Court
Ohk🇿🇦🇵🇸❤️
The US owns and controls the UN which in turn owns the ICJ. What is the point of this hearing at all, to hoodwink ther world that something is being done while nothing can be done as long as the US is covering up and forgiving Israel for everything that it has done and is doing? The UN is as useless as a toilet roll and should be dissolved to stop wasting precious resources. Anyone disagree?
How many weeks yall gonna have BAD AUDIO SMH
It will end when they will take the 2.3 million arabs living in Israel
The news reporter is either a Zionist jew and she working for them
Good dog
Free Palestine. ❤❤❤
Terrorists been in occupation for some time of this territories but no one said nothing about that
Stop the Palestinian genocide
Them saudis should be ashamed of themselves for recognizing israeli genocide but only offering words to dying palestinians
I think they should be more ashamed of their war crimes in Yemen the last 10 years.
Nothing the Saudi Arabian representative said was false, just ironic coming from them
😅😅😅 kangaroo curt icj is scared of usa and the zionists they will favor them as always its a kangaroo curt
You all say Israel but it’s really the United States….. Come on let’s be real and tell it like it really is…… Fake American Jews they say there are Jews and they keep using the word Jews Jews Jews but they are really Zionist zionists zionists
I am not sure why they have to be a hearing while it is obvious
Viva o presidente do Brasil. Falou diretamente a verdade sobre esse novos nazistas israelenses. 🎉
It shouldn’t just be a case of a ceasefire there needs to be some justice to every unlawful war crime also when. The war does end how will people survive no homes no assets no schools the damage that has been done will take years and years of suffering for recovery for the poor people
EVICT THE DEMON STATE OF ISRAEL FROM TJE MIDDLE EAST 🙏 JUSTICE FOR PALESTINE ☮️
It took 40 Years for the USA to sign on to the 1948 UN Genocide Convention… and it was the atrocities committed by the U.S. on the N. American Tribal Nations which fronted the delay. Ironically, in 1987, it was a Congressman from Delaware who finally signed on for the U.S… none other than “acting” President Joseph Robinette Biden.
“I mean, there might be a public outcry for awhile… but then, you know what happens? People forget. They don’t remember, they don’t care. They just don’t care. It’s just gonna’ be another everyday, common tragedy.”
“Yeah, it’s — it’s not common.”
“Don’t do somethin’ you’re gonna’ regret for the rest of your life… You’re gonna’ regret…”
“I ain’t got nothin’ but regret, Bill…”
“You have a family… Children. Don’t make it more of a tragedy…”
– Ernest Burkhart and Bill Hale talking in jail…
Killers of the Flower Moon
If you tell a Lie often enough, and loud enough… it becomes Israel.
Made it clear? Who cares about them.
The Israelis don’t care about them that’s why they’re under investigation for various crimes against humanity

It seems to me because Israel committed genocide, the Palestinians should be able to sue until Israel is completely off their land. Because of the genocide should automatically means they must go. it is not Israel land, it belong to the Palestinians. The UK should also be sued for trillions of dollars because they put those people on Palestinians Land. They should have put them in England. That is what they had a right to do, put their friends on their land.
This is Jewish land, read a history book
Canada must show a moral core and stand against this horrendous occupation
Watch this video and ICJ hearing
Watch, listen and spread the news.
This should be seen in every channel
200 hundred years occupation in aotearoa
Does anyone know if we have confirmation on if Canada backed out entirely or if they just delayed?
When our beloved palestine is free,they should name the streets of palestine all the countrys that are standing up for them.🇧🇩
❤Respect to South Africa!
Who complained? Who shouted on the streets, promoting lunacy?
Who kept on murmuring? Who taught children to kill Israel?
Now you know. Study the KJV Holy Bible. Know the creator. Isaiah 41:8-13 NKJV
“But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. [9] You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: [10] Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ [11] “Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. [12] You shall seek them and not find them- Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. [13] For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’.,.,.,.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Free Julian Assange
Free all oppressed people around the globe
Arabs slave of South Africa is anti semitism, an agent of Hamas terrorist is crying louder at UN 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Didn’t Hamas invade Israel FIRST???
The US will not stand with Palestinians due to the fact their government is funded by Iran and their proxies hamas involvement for oct 7th. The Israelis not going anywhere
UNGA consists of more then 200 countries of the world and ICJ is the highest court of the UN. Isn’t it illogical a bunch of countries supersedes the majority of the countries by the way of veto power? This illogical and unjustifiable system should be abolished.
A political theater, without any consequences for the surpressed people. Like the UN. Much talk about deprived and dehumanized people, about wounded and starving people aber death and occupation and that all this is unlawful and all these had to stop………And all this does not Chance anything. Just empty words. Who have the power ask not for justice or morality.
Free Israel from these neighbors. South Africa Russia and Iran are the ones to blame for all these.
Thank you South Africa and all 10 countries for their support.
Anyone arguing that Israel is not in breach of international law should be held in contempt of court.
I wonder when Israel is just going to say “OK, i guess we will leave.”
The world coddled and supported Israel for this crime of occupation of Gaza among other things.
Justiies delayed justice denied.
Shame on Kings Generals and Ruling Politicians of Muslim Countries across the Globe 🌍 for their role in current situation
Hope ICJ is for the entire world .
ICJ should change their title if they are for America and Israel.
If America and Israel break laws everyone can break laws

SO DONT LET ANYONE CONVINCEI YOU THAT ITS ALL STARTED IN OCTOBER THE 7Th🔻🔻
Many many thanks to South Africa 🇿🇦 and many other nation who stood by Palestine 🇵🇸
Praying they do ceasefire as so many people are dying specially kids very sad 😢
It was lawful all along, how come suddenly unlawful?
All these corrupt third world sewer countries trying to tell Israel how to behave is so hilarious.
Israels actions are more sewer than those countries. Petty, dirty low lifes thinking they are the superior race 😅 Do anything you can to keep America on your side because you know what your government did
US. and. isreal. are. terrorist. state. and. inhumane. and. evil ….
Icj court is waste.
No wonder the world constantly turns their backs on jews.
They have to be the most evil people on this planet.
Terrible how the teach their children to hate
The ICJ in America’s hands is very sad
All these stupid countries defending Palestine are missing the point – even if Israel ends the occupation, Palestine will still insist on attacking Israel. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Gazans elected Hamas in 2006 to resume attacks against Israel.
Israel move to an isolated land out of Palestine. Thats the best idea.
Thank you Al Jazeera! ❤❤❤
Israel=NASISM!
lsraeI is GUILTY! We will never forgive, we will never forget! USA, Germany and co. take notice, we see who you are!
It is not possible for America to solve the Israel-Palestine problem.
I wonder what the Saudis are busy with? Do they seem impartial to all of these?
Thank you to the leaders who follow their coscience. You all have power to stop this war. Humanity is the priority
What of the illegal occupation of Istanbul? The genocides there are undeniable Shouldn’t that be resolved first? There are millions of refugees
What can be done if Israel ignore the ICJ decision ?
The word apartheid is often used to blame actions of people years gone by and to blame others for their inability to get things right. The word apartheid is as in being the scapegoat for somebody to take the blame. It is becoming rather tedious.
Genocide
Is western culture
Israel accupation of Palstenions land is illegal
Long live Israel and may god bless you for defending yourselves. Voet sek South Africa and get your government in order before condemning Israel .. South Africa you suck and you can’t even provide your people electricity and improve their standard of living . Yet their human rights records are applauding . Hippocrates
Israel must pay reparation to Palestinian people. This should be one trillion dollars. With 75 years of interest ,it should be 2 trillion dollars.
