Nicaragua has asked the ICJ to impose emergency measures to stop Germany from providing Israel with weapons and assistance.

Over 34,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory since the war began in October 2000, following a Hamas attack that left around 1,170 Israelis dead.

Nicaragua chose to target Germany instead of the US because Washington does not recognize the ICJ's jurisdiction in the case.

The text discusses a dispute at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) between Germany and Nicaragua regarding Israel's compliance with the 1948 Genocide Convention.

Nicaragua accused Germany of hypocrisy for providing weapons to Israel while also aiding Gazans.

Germany defended its actions, stating that Israel's security is a priority in its foreign policy and that military aid is meticulously scrutinized and evaluated.

Nicaragua's accusations were dismissed by German representatives.

Nicaragua asked Germany to suspend aid to Israel, specifically military assistance, following unprecedented attacks by Hamas that resulted in over 1,100 deaths in Israel.

Israel responded with a retaliatory offensive, leading to over 34,000 deaths, mostly women and children, in Gaza according to Hamas' health ministry.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is closely monitoring cases related to the Gaza war, with South Africa accusing Israel of perpetrating genocide in the region.

Israel and the US are not members of the ICJ.

The text discusses the denial by Israel of accusations made by South Africa in the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The accusations include Israel's responsibility for starvation in Gaza.

The ICJ called on Israel to prevent genocide and ordered urgent humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

However, ICJ decisions are binding but not enforceable, and Israel's previous disregard for ICJ orders, such as ceasing its invasion of Ukraine, suggests Israel may not comply with the latest orders.
