Israel's settlement policy in occupied Palestinian territories is in breach of international law, the International Court of Justice has ruled.
Israel's settlement policy in occupied Palestinian territories is in breach of international law, the International Court of Justice has ruled. The 'transfer by Israel of settlers to the West Bank and Jerusalem as well as Israel's maintenance of their presence' is 'contrary to article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention', a panel of 15 judges from around the world said.
Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the Six-Day War in 1967. All three areas are sought by the Palestinians for an independent state. Israel, however, considers the West Bank to be disputed territory, and wants its future to be negotiated. It withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but has maintained controls over the territory after Hamas took power in 2007. Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem is not internationally recognised.
