The Hague: Germany told the United Nations' top court on Monday that a genocide case over weapons sales to Israel was improperly filed by Nicaragua and should be thrown out.
The Central American country accuses Berlin of violating the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law by 'facilitating' acts of genocide in Gaza by providing arms and other military support to Israel. While the case centres on Germany, it indirectly takes aim at Israel's campaign in Gaza in response to the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas.
