Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir referred to the ongoing discussion at the Court of Justice in The Hague regarding the "legality of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem," and said that "The decision in The Hague proves for the umpteenth time that this is a distinctly antisemitic and political organization. We will not accept moral preaching from them, the time has come for governance and sovereignty." Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who also holds the position of minister in the Ministry of Defense, also posted on his X account: "The answer to The Hague - sovereignty now."
