Israel must stop violating international laws, M’sia tells court

THE HAGUE: Israel must cease its ongoing violations of international laws and every fundamental element of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, says Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

Delivering Malaysia’s oral submission during public hearings over Israel’s actions at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Netherlands on Thursday (local time), he said Israel must cease all its relevant “policies and practices” in Palestine and withdraw immediately from the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). Israel must also offer assurances and guarantees of non-repetition of its violations and actions, he said.
