Palestine - News according to Justice Info

What is it all about?

Our news on Palestine, clear and analytic

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has tragically escalated since the attack carried out on Israeli territory by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent reprisals by Tel Aviv. In the realm of justice, activity has also intensified significantly, marked by the notable decisions of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which called on Israel to prevent any genocide in Gaza, and the striking arrest warrants issued by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his Defense Minister, and three Hamas leaders. Our articles strive to address the latest developments in this judicial activity, providing information and analysis with complete independence.
