Jerusalem Brushes Off Ankara Threat to Go to International Court of Justice
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - After Turkey's threat to take Israel to the International Court of Justice in The Hague following Friday's release of the Palmer Commission report on the 2010 flotilla incident, Israeli officials said on Saturday that the court only adjudicates issues brought to it by two disputing states, or referred to it for an advisory decision from the UN. Israel won't agree to go to the court, the official said, and the UN will be hard-pressed to ask for an advisory opinion after a UN body (the Palmer Commission) found that the blockade of Gaza was legal, as was Israel's interception of vessels trying to break it.
