Germany is challenging claims at the United Nations' top court that it is facilitating genocide in Gaza by supplying arms to Israel. Nicaragua accuses Germany of violating the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law. Monday's hearing at the International Court of Justice in The Hague will address whether the court has jurisdiction. Germany denies the allegations, stating they have no basis in fact or law. Proceedings at the ICJ can take years, and the case indirectly targets Israel's campaign in Gaza. Israel denies its actions amount to genocide.
