Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) welcomed the UN’s International Court of Justice (ICJ)’s ruling last month that the Israeli presence in all occupied Palestinian territory, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, is unlawful, must come to an end, and must not be supported by third party states. The court found multiple breaches of international law by Israel, including activities that amounted to apartheid.
