The International Court of Justice stated that it will hold hearings on the eighth and ninth of next April, to consider Nicaragua’s lawsuit against Germany, regarding Berlin’s provision of military aid to the Israeli occupation, and the suspension of funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

In a statement on Friday, the court confirmed that sessions would be held to listen to the two countries’ pleas in the upcoming meeting.

Nicaragua accused Germany before the International Court of Justice, based in The Hague, of facilitating genocide in Gaza by providing financial and military aid to the Israeli occupation entity.

According to Nicaragua's statement, Germany is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

Nicaragua accused Germany before the International Court of Justice, based in The Hague, of facilitating genocide in Gaza by providing financial and military aid to the Israeli occupation entity.

Nicaragua added, according to the lawsuit, that Germany facilitated the “genocide” in Gaza by suspending funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

Nicaragua said in a memorandum published by the court that through these measures, “Germany facilitates the commission of genocide, and in any case it has failed in its obligation to do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocide.”

In a temporary ruling issued on January 26, the Court of Justice asked the occupation forces to take measures to prevent genocide in Gaza and direct incitement to it, and to improve the humanitarian situation in the Strip. It also rejected the Israeli request to reject the case, but in return it rejected South Africa’s request to order a ceasefire. .
