ICJ: ISRAEL VIOLATES GENEVA CONVENTION DeFACTO ANNEXATION

ICJ says Israel's policies and practices amount to the annexation of large parts of occupied Palestinian territory. Policies and practices used by Israel in its occupation of Palestinian territories are in breach of international law, the United Nations' top court said in a landmark opinion Friday.
The International Court of Justice said in its opinion, which was read out by Judge Nawaf Salam, president of the world body, that Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as "the regime associated with them" were established and are being maintained in violation of international law
