Israeli military says it is looking into a possible drone attack; Israeli PM says it is ‘essential’ Israel keep control of Rafah crossing and territory along Egypt’s border
Good morning, I’m Sammy Gecsoyler and I’ll be with you for the next while. The United Nations’ highest court is set to issue an advisory opinion on a pre-October 7 case regarding Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories at 1pm on Friday. In late 2022 the General Assembly asked the court to appraise Israel’s “prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation” of Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and associated Israeli government policies.
While advisory opinions of judges at the International Court of Justice are non-binding, they carry weight under international law and a clear finding that the occupation is illegal could weaken support for Israel. The Houthi’s, who are based in Yemen, have claimed responsibility for an apparent drone attack that hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday. The Israeli military is investigating the attack and said they are not ruling out any possibility regarding the source.
