The ICJ will rule on Tuesday on Nicaragua's accusation of Germany for the war in Gaza

The highest UN court will rule on Tuesday on Nicaragua’s indictment, which accuses Germany of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention by supplying weapons to Israel for the war in the Gaza Strip.

The Central American country denounced Germany before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), based in The Hague, asking judges to impose emergency measures so that Germany stops supplying weapons and other aid to Israel.

The ICJ announced this Friday that it would issue its ruling on April 30 at 3:00 p.m. (1:00 p.m. GMT).

Lawyers for both countries presented their arguments during a hearing earlier this month.

Nicaragua criticized Germany for its support for Israel, considering it “pathetic” to deliver weapons to the Israeli government and, at the same time, provide aid to Gaza, something that the Berlin government described as “extremely partial.”

Germany replied that Israel’s security is “at the center” of its foreign policy.

“As soon as they are studied more closely, Nicaragua’s accusations fall apart,” a representative of Germany, Christian Tams, told the judges.

Nicaragua requested five provisional measures, including that Germany immediately suspend its aid to Israel, in particular its military assistance, including military equipment.

Ortega's lawsuit against Germany over the Israel-Hamas conflict is unfounded and unfounded, according to Fundación Libertad.

The war in Gaza was triggered on October 7 by an unprecedented attack by Hamas commandos in Israeli territory that left 1,170 dead, mainly civilians, according to an AFP report based on official Israeli data.

In retaliation, Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas, in power in Gaza since 2007 and which it considers a terrorist organization, like the United States and the European Union.

Israeli forces launched an offensive that has left 34,356 dead so far, mostly civilians, according to the Islamist movement’s Ministry of Health.
