Israel High Court to Review World Court Opinion on Security Fence
(Ha'aretz) Yuval Yoaz - Israel's High Court of Justice on Thursday gave the state 30 days to explain the implications of the decision by the International Court of Justice concerning the separation fence on Israel's policy with regard to the fence. Supreme Court President Aharon Barak said that it was necessary to deal with only those parts of the ruling that are relevant in Israel's eyes. "The ICJ regards eastern Jerusalem as occupied territory," Barak said, "while we do not. The relevant approach should be toward the villages and not Jerusalem. But we will have to say something on the subject...and to announce whether or not we accept the opinion of the ICJ."
