Germany reversed its earlier pledge to support Israel at the ICJ in the Gaza genocide case. Despite that it previously backed Israel, Berlin will now abstain, citing its own ICJ case with Nicaragua over violations of international law, including support for Israel’s assault in Gaza.

That case already exposed Germany to growing scrutiny over its arms exports to Israel and its suspension of funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Although the ICJ declined in 2024 to order emergency measures against Berlin, it allowed Nicaragua’s case to proceed, leaving Germany to continue defending its conduct before the court.
