Israel’s opposition lashes out at ICJ ruling, says it aids 'terrorism'

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has lashed out at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), saying it is “detached, one-sided, tainted with anti-Semitism and a lack of understanding of the reality on the ground”.

“It only serves Islamic terrorism and the campaign against Israel,” Lapid said on X.

Lapid blamed Netanyahu’s government, saying the international court’s ruling was “another political failure of a dysfunctional government”.
