UN court declares Israel's presence in occupied territories illegal
Irish Examiner — July 19, 2024, 11:11 PM UTC
Summary: The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is "unlawful" and must end, citing the expansion of settlements and discriminatory policies. The court's 15 judges emphasized that Israel's actions violate the Fourth Geneva Convention. Over 500,000 Israelis live in West Bank settlements, which the international community views as illegal. Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected the ruling, asserting historical claims to the land.

I'm replacing the original 8-factor scoring system with a new and improved one. It doesn't use the original factors and gives much better significance scores.
