ICJ Won't Postpone Fence Deadline
(Jerusalem Post) Nina Gilbert - The International Court of Justice at The Hague rejected a call by Israel to postpone the January 30 deadline for written arguments on the security-fence case, said Foreign Ministry legal adviser Alan Baker. The final draft of Israel's statement to the court was presented Sunday to Prime Minister Sharon's bureau chief, Dov Weisglass. Baker said Israel's line of defense would focus on the court's lack of authority to consider the question. Israel is also to question the legitimacy of "Palestine" to be a side to the case.
