Nicaragua accuses Germany of “facilitating the commission of genocide” against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Nicaragua calls on the court's judges to impose temporary measures to push Germany to stop providing all forms of support to Israel.
German Foreign Ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer told reporters before the hearings, “We reject Nicaragu’s accusations,” considering that Germany did not violate the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide nor international humanitarian law. The International Court of Justice has a noticeable presence in the war on Gaza.
