The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel's settlement policies on Palestinian territories violate international law.
The ruling from The Hague on Friday came after it announced that it could give a non-binding advisory opinion on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The ICJ, or World Court, said the occupation of Palestinian territories is a "de facto annexation."
Israel and multiple other countries had rejected the court's capacity to issue a ruling on the case previously.
More to come.
