Countries supplying weapons to Israel could be held accountable for crimes in Gaza under int'l law

Countries providing weapons and other military equipment to Israel could be held responsible for its crimes in Gaza, according to international agreements and decisions of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Although this primarily concerns the US and Germany, it involves mostly other Western countries.

Governments in the Netherlands, the UK, US, Canada, Denmark, and Germany, which provide arms to Israel, face lawsuits from their respective national courts.
