To no one’s surprise, the International Court of Justice in The Hague (ICJ) ruled on Friday that Israel’s policies in our ancient homelands of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem are illegal and against international law. Furthermore, the ICJ said Israel is illegally exploiting the natural resources of the region. The ruling is non-binding – not legally, and not morally.
Israeli responses were immediate in denouncing the ruling.
Finance Minister called for immediately applying Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
Internal Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said [translated]
“The decision of the International Court of Justice in The Hague proves for the umpteenth time – this is a definite anti-Semitic and political organization. We will not receive moral preaching from them, it is time for governance and sovereignty. And as we learned in this week’s parshah [Balak], ‘They are a people alone that will dwell and the Gentiles will not be considered.'”
The head of the Binyamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council, Israel Gantz, in response to the opinion of the court in The Hague:
“We call on the prime minister to immediately begin applying sovereignty to Judea and Samaria.”
