Germany faces charges from Nicaragua at the top UN court on Monday that it is “facilitating the commission of genocide” against Palestinians with its military and political support for Israel.
Nicaragua has hauled Germany before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), demanding judges impose emergency measures to stop Berlin providing Israel with weapons and other assistance.
Germany has hit back at the allegations, with Sebastian Fischer, spokesman for the German foreign ministry, telling reporters ahead of the hearings: “We reject the allegations from Nicaragua.”
