The beginning of the sessions of the International Court of Justice about the occupation of the Israeli regime

According to the “Quds Press” news site, these meetings were held within the framework of the request of the United Nations General Assembly to receive opinions from the Hague International Court about the effects of the occupation activities of the Israeli regime more than 75 years ago. These public meetings will continue for 6 days (March 7).
