Israel\u00a0<\/span>condemned and the Palestinians welcomed on Saturday a United Nations General Assembly vote asking the International Court of Justice to provide an opinion on legal consequences of\u00a0Israel<\/span>\u2018s \u201coccupation\u201d of the Palestinian territories.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Friday vote presents a challenge for\u00a0Israel<\/span>i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who this week took office at the head of a government which has set settlement expansion as a priority and which includes parties who want to annex West Bank land on which they are built.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jewish people are not occupiers in their own land nor occupiers in our eternal capital Jerusalem and no UN resolution can distort that historical truth,\u201d Netanyahu said in a video message, adding that\u00a0Israel\u00a0<\/span>was not bound by the \u201cdespicable decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with Gaza and eastern Jerusalem, the Palestinians seek the West Bank for a state. Most countries consider\u00a0Israel<\/span>\u2018s settlements there illegal, a view\u00a0Israel\u00a0<\/span>disputes citing historical and Biblical ties to the land.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) also known as the World Court, is the top UN court dealing with disputes between states. Its rulings are binding, though the ICJ has no power to enforce them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UN General Assembly asked the ICJ to give an advisory opinion on the legal consequences of\u00a0Israel<\/span>\u2018s \u201coccupation, settlement and annexation\u2026 including measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Holy City of Jerusalem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Members of Netanyahu\u2019s new government have pledged to bolster settlements with development plans, budgets and authorization of dozens of outposts built without permits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cabinet includes newly created posts and restructured roles that grant some of those powers to pro-settler coalition partners, who ultimately aim to extend\u00a0Israel<\/span>i sovereignty to the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Netanyahu, however, has given no indication of any imminent steps to annex the settlements, a move that would likely shake up its relations with Western and Arab allies alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Palestinians welcomed the UN vote in which 87 members voted in favor of adopting the request;\u00a0Israel<\/span>, the United States and 24 other members voted against; and 53 abstained.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for\u00a0Israel\u00a0<\/span>to be a state subject to law, and to be held accountable for its ongoing crimes against our people,\u201d said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Palestinian Authority has limited self-rule in the West Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Basem Naim, an official with Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls Gaza, said it was \u201can important step toward confining and isolating the state of occupation (Israel<\/span>).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
