Germany rejects ICJ charge of aiding genocide in Gaza

Germany is currently defending itself at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague against allegations made by Nicaragua that Berlin's support for Israel breaches international law, specifically the Geneva Convention and the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention. Nicaragua accuses Germany of facilitating breaches of humanitarian law and genocide in Gaza by providing Israel with weapons and other assistance. Germany strongly denies these claims, stating that they have "no basis in fact or law." The case has provoked strong reactions in Germany and Israel, with Germany emphasizing the importance of Israel's security in its foreign policy.
