Note not just the settlement breaks international law. The occupation itself since 1967 is illegal and has to end asap. Even before the Israeli invasion, Gaza was already occupied continueing after 2005 as Israel controlled all borders, movement, money and civil registries. The Palestinians have the right to resist the occupation. A right that is continously denied by allegedly rules based countries like the US, UK and Germany.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Trump will recognise the annexation of the West Bank. I guarantee this.
The US is a bipartisan supporter of Israel, its illegal annexations and its genocide. Biden embraced again, that he is a Zionist and will continue full support for Israel. AIPAC and other Israeli Lobby/Foreign influence groups bankroll both parts of the aisle.
The reason why the Republicans are doubling down so much for now is because it helps them stir up racism and help disenfranchise the progressive left from the Democrats, because they get Biden to publicly double down on his Zionism.
That's true but Trump will violate the few remaining Shibboleths just as did when he recognised Jerusalem as the capital as well as the annexation of the Golan Heights. I'm fairly certain he will sanction the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The top United Nations court has ruled that Israel’s settlement policies and use of natural resources in the occupied Palestinian territories violate international law.
The ICJ president, Nawaf Salam, was reading out the court’s full opinion in a Friday session expected to take about an hour.
It has annexed East Jerusalem in a move that is not recognised internationally, while it withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but maintained a blockade of the territory after Hamas took power in 2007.
It submitted written comments, saying that the questions put to the court were prejudiced and “fail to recognise Israel’s right and duty to protect its citizens”, address Israeli security concerns or acknowledge Israel-Palestinian agreements to negotiate issues, including “the permanent status of the territory, security arrangements, settlements, and borders”.
Palestinian residents of the city face systematic discrimination, making it difficult for them to build new homes or expand existing ones.
The international community considers all settlements to be illegal or obstacles to peace since they are built on lands sought by the Palestinians for their state.
The original article contains 613 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
It (Israel) submitted written comments, saying that the questions put to the court were prejudiced and “fail to... acknowledge Israel-Palestinian agreements to negotiate issues, including “the permanent status of the territory, security arrangements, settlements, and borders”.
Imagine how brazenly dishonest one would have to be to actually, unironically try to condemn an international body for supposedly "fail(ing) to acknowledge Israel-Palestinian agreements to negotiate issues" when the specific matter at hand is ones ongoing policy of coming onto land that's clearly desgnated as Palestinian territory, throwing the residents off (and killing them if they dare to resist), then building an Israeli-only settlement on the Palestinan land you've just forcibly occupied.
