THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Germany is strongly rejecting a case brought by Nicaragua at the United Nations’ top court accusing Berlin of facilitating breaches of the Geneva Convention and international humanitarian law by providing arms and other support to Israel in its deadly assault on Gaza. Christian Tams, a member of Germany’s legal team, told the 16-judge panel at the International Court of Justice on Tuesday that, “The minute we look closely, Nicaragua’s accusations fall apart.” Nicaragua urged judges Monday to call a halt to German military aid to Israel, arguing that Berlin’s support enables acts of genocide and breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
