Germany is attempting to push back against claims that it is facilitating genocide in Gaza by supplying arms to Israel.
Nicaraugua accuses Germany of violating the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law.
A hearing at the Interional Court of Justice will address whether the court has jurisdiction.
Although the case centers on Germany, it indirectly accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza.
Germany has been a stauch supporter of Israel for decades and is its second-largest supplier of arms... after the US.
Germany previously stopped authorizing exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza but later lifted those restrictions.
The proceedings are the latest legal attempt to rein in Israel’s military campaign, after South Africa accused Israel of genocide at the same court in 2023.
