The Arab league demolishes US and UK arguments at The Hague: Marwan Bishara
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) concludes its six-day hearings into the legality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967.
The Arab League tells the International Court of Justice that the failure to end the Israeli occupation has caused horrors to Palestinians, amounting to genocide.
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, said that The Arab league demolishes US and UK arguments at The Hague.
In his commentary on the speech delivered by the second representative of the League of Arab States, Ralph Wilde aptly conveyed the notion that "the law as you like it should not be determined by the law as it is" to the ICJ. From my perspective, Wilde subtly directed his criticism towards the United States and the United Kingdom, highlighting their tendency to manipulate international law to serve their own interests.
Wilde effectively placed the occupation of Palestinian territories post-1967 within its historical framework, drawing parallels between Israel’s actions in the Galilee and Negev regions post-1948 and its current policies in the occupied territories. He underscored a consistent pattern in Israel’s behavior, emphasizing that its actions are not haphazard but rather deliberate, serving the purpose of annexation, as evidenced by the establishment and expansion of settlements in those territories.
