Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday refuted the World Court's ruling that Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank breach international law, asserting that the Jewish people cannot be regarded as occupiers in their historic homeland.
"No false decision in The Hague will distort this historical truth, just as the legality of Israeli settlement in all the territories of our homeland cannot be contested," Netanyahu stated emphatically.
This declaration from Netanyahu underscores the continuing tension and complex legal landscape surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
