Israel Rejects World Court Ruling
(JTA) While Israel respects international law, it opposes the politicization of international bodies such as the International Court of Justice, said Dore Gold, a former Israeli envoy to the UN. "The terms of reference that the court was given by the UN could only result in a decision that was tantamount to the outlawing of the shield, while condoning the continued use of the sword," he said. "There is broad opposition among Western allies to the corruption of the ICJ and using it as a political weapon in lieu of political negotiations."
