The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a non-binding opinion on Friday stating that Israel's presence in the occupied Palestinian territories — referring to the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza — was "unlawful" and called for it to end.
The ICJ said Israel should cease all new settlement activities and withdraw settlers from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, adding that Israel systematically discriminated against Palestinians and branded its policies in the occupied territories as "de facto annexation."
