The International Court of Justice will hold oral hearings on the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. The hearings are expected to last for six days.

The court is expected to issue an opinion on the matter by the end of the year. It is the first time the court has considered the issue since it was established in 1948. The case is expected that the court will rule in favor of Israel's right to exist as a state in the West Bank and Gaza, and against the right of the Palestinians to live in peace with their neighbors.
