Friday is the fifth day of hearings held by the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences of Israel’s practices in the occupied Palestinian territories. Britain abstained from voting for an Algerian draft resolution in the UN Security Council that called for an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons in Gaza.
