UNGA resolution asking ICJ to take up Israel’s “occupation of palestine” passed 87-2.
Despite having peace agreements with 4 Arab nations through the Abraham Accords, these Arab countries still voted for the resolution. While the resolution is certainly dangerous and foretells the direction the world is about to go when it comes to Israel’s new government, there are some bright parts to the UN vote.
Prime Minister Netanyahu was able to convince Ukraine and many others to abstain from the vote moments before.
The ICJ, also known as the world court, is the top UN court for mediating disputes between countries. Its rulings are binding and influence public opinion but it has no mechanism for enforcement.
