‘Triumph for justice’, says Palestinian presidency following ICJ ruling
The Palestinian presidency has called the ICJ opinion a “triumph for justice, affirming that the Israeli occupation is illegal”.
“The presidency viewed the ICJ decision as a reaffirmation of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, their land, and their statehood,” it said in a post on X.
“The presidency emphasised that amidst the ongoing Israeli aggression and genocide against our people in Gaza and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, the ICJ ruling renews hope among our people for a future free from colonisation, on the path to achieving their absolute and non-negotiable right to self-determination and liberation”.
