World court deals Israel another major blow, with Michael Lynk

The International Court of Justice in The Hague issued a much-anticipated advisory opinion finding that Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is illegal and said that all settlers must be withdrawn from occupied territory, and that reparations must be made to Palestinians. Meanwhile, more than 60 governments and other parties are intervening at the International Criminal Court, which is still considering Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s request from more than two months ago for judges to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defense minister Yoav Gallant. What is taking so long and will these interventions further delay or even block the arrest warrants for the Israeli leaders responsible for the ongoing genocide? After almost 10 months of unrelenting slaughter does international law even matter? To help us understand the latest legal developments, we are joined once again by Michael Lynk, professor of law at Western University in Canada. He served as the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories from 2016 to 2022. Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by journalist Aseel Mousa, and former UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories Michael Lynk, on the day 292 livestream.
