Alleged Breaches of Certain International Obligations in respect of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Nicaragua v. Germany)

THE HAGUE, 31 July 2026. The International Court of Justice will hold public hearings on the preliminary objections raised by Germany in the case concerning Alleged Breaches of Certain International Obligations in respect of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Nicaragua v. Germany) from Monday 7 to Thursday 10 September 2026.

It is recalled that, on 1 March 2024, Nicaragua filed an Application instituting proceedings against Germany for alleged violations by Germany of its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 9 December 1948 (the “Genocide Convention”) and the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols, as well as “intransgressible principles of international humanitarian law and other peremptory norms of general international law” in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in particular the Gaza Strip.

@ListJoint The Joint List held its first diplomatic meeting with ambassadors from European Union Member States.

(August 21, 2026)

We highlighted the grave threats facing the integrity and fairness of elections in Israel, specifically the political persecution of parties and parliamentarians representing Arab citizens, alongside racist attempts to undermine their legitimacy.

We also addressed the expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank and the escalation of state terror against Palestinians, carried out by settler milicias with military cooperation and protection and in blunt violation of international law.

We have commenced the meeting by emphasizing the vital role of the European Union and its Member States in combating racism, advancing democratic norms and human rights, and promoting an immediate end to the occupation to achieve a just peace.

Occupation Soldiers Block Hadash MK from Besieged Palestinian Home in Qusra

Cassif eventually reached the families and expressed his support.

Louai Ridi, a Palestinian American, has been effectively trapped on his property since settlers first arrived in the area on Aug. 9. The settlers pitched a tent surrounding Ridi’s home before cutting water pipes and electricity lines and blocking roads leading to his property, making it extremely difficult for the Ridi family and other residents to go about the area.

Videos posted by Cassif, Zo Haderekh and the Palestinian families have brought international attention to the standoff, creating an unusual degree of pressure on the Israeli government and its military.

Iran threatens ‘hostile media’ as ‘potential military targets’

“Media outlets like BBC, Iran International, and Radio Farda are directly connected to [and supported by] Mossad, the CIA, and enemy intelligence organisations,” Shekarchi said.

He said individuals employed by these organisations “can even be included in the list of potential military targets because, in our view, these are not media outlets”.

“These pseudo-media outlets are the source of promoting, advertising, and spreading violence in the world, and they have disrupted the mental wellbeing of humanity,” he said.
