THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Nicaragua called on the United Nations’ top court on Monday to halt German military aid to Israel, arguing that Berlin’s support enables acts of genocide and breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
The case at the International Court of Justice is against Germany, which is the second-largest supplier of arms to Israel after the U.S., but it also indirectly takes aim at Israel’s 6-month-old military campaign, which has left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead and devastated Gaza.
