The UN Assembly will vote on the Palestinian proposal to request a legal opinion from the International Court of Justice in The Hague regarding the "legal significance of the ongoing Israeli occupation" on Friday night.
According to the proposal, Israeli presence in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem is illegal and asks the court to recommend the steps that the UN and the countries of the world should take against Israel due to this presence which, according to the proposal, constitutes "annexation" of the territory.
"No international body can decide that the Jewish people are "occupiers" in their own homeland. Any decision from a judicial body which receives its mandate from the morally bankrupt and politicized UN is completely illegitimate," Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan said.
