UN court rules on Israel's actions in occupied Palestinian land

Israel’s presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is illegal and must end. That’s the opinion of the world’s top legal body, the International Court of Justice.

While its decision isn’t binding, the move carries weight under international law, and is likely to ratchet up pressure on Israel.
