i'm the call for life. thank you so much for joining us. german government lawyers will argue at the you once top court, that berlin support for israel does not breach international law. this on the 2nd day of a hearing at the international court of justice in the hague. the case has been brought by nicaragua, which accuses jeremy of quote, facilitating genocide in the gaza strip by supplying weapons to israel. had of drawing his legal team calls nicaragua, his case grossly biased. nicaragua, his case against germany has to main goals to hold buildings, military exports to israel, and to restart german funding for the u. n's, palestinian refugee agency. the arguments that germany's actions are in breach of the genocide convention government is taking to onto it so not to gauge and to present in the side or to a see respect of international humanitarian law. a gemini supply of alms to israel

is a central pillar of nicaragua, his case germany is israel, 2nd largest on supply of behind to the united states, accounting for about 30 percent of all israel's weapon imports. nicaragua argues that by continuing to provide these weapons, germany is enabling israel to commit acts of genocide in gaza. the international court of justice is currently examining where the israel has committed genocide in a separate case launched by south africa in bringing this case before the court. nicaragua says it is acting on behalf of the palestinian people. i mean, this is a very important case. obviously for out understanding and brothers, but also for the people in the care i will as you may have heard and always pushing me can we have enormous sympathy with the palestinians with the suffering defies to new people are going to and that's why we felt think we had to do something.

obviously the only thing we could look into issues the 2 records since it has been one of the few things. i think that i've had some experience with the international court of justice, close ties between nicaragua and palestinian organizations, dates back to 1979 when palestinian groups supported the send. and this, the guerrilla forces that over through nicaragua, as dictate issue germany staunch support of israel, goes back to just off to the 2nd world war. the german government sees supporting israel security as a historical responsibility for germany's actions in the holocaust. a 1000000000 categorically rejects nicaragua, has accusations i mean does most and never did. while at the genocide convention nor international directory in germany will get its chance to make its case in court on tuesday for let's bring in the w corresponded lucy

sheldon. she's at the icing. j in the hague. good to see you again. let's see it now. yesterday nicaragua claimed germany was, quote, facilitating genocides and dates during these turn to take the stand. how will the delegation respond to these accusations? yes sir, it is expected that germany is going to reject these allegations. we've already heard yesterday from the german agent that germany saying that this me, colorado, his presentation was grocery buyers, fed germany, gas and did not violate the genocide convention and international humanitarian law . and that it is on the contrary, committed to upholding international law in the, in the international and it's international relations. and it is going to show today in detail how it does this and how it lives up to its responsibilities driven, you said, sorry, in about 2 hours of jeremy, we'll start with it's defense. and we will then see what are the main arguments.

jeremy's, going to make, to show on the legal side how it is doing that, and that it does not do or how it says how it's going to prove that. and you can progress accusations on north relative endow opinion. and those are great accusations that nicaragua is raising what evidence are they building their case on? so nicaragua has been mainly talking yesterday about a veteran deliveries of germany to israel in germany is indeed after easter, after the united states, one of the main supporters vis reference various m. c. p numbers that germany does provide 30 percent off the reference to each trail. and um, this is the main argument. i would say that via fraud yesterday here from colorado

and they have been giving numbers, official, german numbers to prove that. and um, it is expected also that germany will answer to this and give their take of what they did as a ring and what that actually means. okay, so after today's session, the cord will have heard both sides was going to happen next. here what is really important at this stage to mention is bed, we are at the stage of provision and mattress. so at this stage, nicaragua is asking the court to order germany to mainly stop sending military at to east you as well as to start funding, right? again for these provision and mattress it is, there is another test. so to say then for the main case. so these provision emetrius, i expect it to come relatively early within reach some people even say within 2 weeks, this might already be the case that we have for 1st on sir, the 1st decision by the court. and then it might move on to the latest to delay to stay just had to possibly a case on the merits,

but this is expected to take much longer the csl time in the hague. thank you so much. i this pro palestinian protesters gathered outside the german embassy in washington to show their support for in the garage was case the double use benjamin alvarez reports these protest is a supporting the case broad before the i c j a choosing germany of facilitate content is so different the deals of quotes for pro just not only here in front of the german embassy, washington dc, but also in front of the german un mission in new york and several other consul. let's say that germany, it's the 2nd biggest exporter of weapons to is read is facilitating dentist. i didn't go this reporting the claims spanish. and i went to also handed a letter over to diplomatic stuff here, saying that germany should stop sending weapons to israel immediately. germany supporting is right no matter what,

they are complicit in the crimes that this was committing. and i feel deeply ashamed about it as a drama this that's precedent for us to then turn and go back to our government and say stop farming, genocide, stop breaking both our domestic was the foreign assistance act and stop ranking international humanitarian law. we're here today to let them know that we're, we're aware of what of their complicity in the genocide often handing the matter with the embassy organize is express disappointed with the response. they've got some diplomatic stuff germany rejects, can you cut out was accommodation for space less and will presented the argument on the 2nd day of hearings in the the meanwhile is rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, be, is rarely, military has set a date for a major incursion into a rough line, southern gaza without specifying when the west has repeated its opposition to the plan thing and would have
