Following the appeal of the Palestinians: the issue of the legality of Israeli control over the West Bank will be discussed in The Hague. Israel is expected to claim that the occupation of the territories occurred for self-defense, and that it is entitled to hold onto them until a political settlement is reached.
The Palestinians initiated the procedure with the support of 87 different countries in the UN and their main claim is that Israel does not temporarily hold the area of Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley.
