Summary: The International Court of Justice declared Israel's presence in Palestinian territories illegal, citing violations of international law, particularly Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The court ordered Israel to cease settlement construction and remove existing settlements, while also mandating reparations to Palestinians. The West Bank settler population has increased by over 15% in five years, exceeding 500,000. Israel disputes the ruling, claiming historical rights to the land.
