International law expert Ido Rosenzweig believes the World Court may stop short of ordering an outright halt to the war, but "if an order is issued that Israel is unable to comply with, then it would be in violation of a binding order."

The Hapoel Jerusalem owner says he passed up the opportunity to buy a Premier League club because of the emotional connection to Israel. Adelson, whose team won the Israeli Basketball State Cup recently, says, "Since October 7, sports has had no meaning, but when you meet the fans, the families, you suddenly understand the power."

Chilling video shows Jamal Hussein Ahmad Radi and son Abdullah detailing horrific acts during the Hamas invasion: “My father raped her, then I did and then my cousin did and then we left but my father killed the woman after we finished raping her.”

The prevailing assessment among Israeli officials is that the non-binding decision could come as soon as Friday. A significant concern is that injunctions from The Hague could precipitate a similar resolution by the UN Security Council, where Israel would again require a United States veto to block it.

The deeply rooted identities and histories of both the Jewish and Palestinian peoples make it highly unlikely that a one-state solution would be accepted by the majority of either side.
