Arab League foreign ministers said on Thursday that they will ask the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) to rule on Israeli "violations" in annexed Arab east Jerusalem. At the end of an extraordinary meeting at Arab League headquarters in Cairo the ministers said in a statement they decided to set up a committee of international law experts to prepare a case against Israel.
The Arab League will strive "to obtain a decision from the United Nations General Assembly to task the International Court of Justice to examine Israeli violations in Jerusalem," the statement said.
