January 30 Briefing: The ICJ, Biden Lawsuit & Conditioning U.S. Military Funding to Israel

Friday, January 26, was a pivotal day in the ongoing efforts to halt Israel’s destruction of Gaza and its people. The International Court of Justice responded to South Africa’s request for provisional measures in its genocide case against the State of Israel and, in a courtroom on the other side of the Atlantic, plaintiffs testified before a U.S. federal court in the case of Defense for Children International - Palestine v. Biden, a lawsuit against senior Biden administration officials for their failure to prevent, and for their complicity in, the Israeli government’s unfolding genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Join us Tuesday, Jan. 30, to unpack Friday’s legal proceedings, as well as to hear the latest regarding efforts on Capitol Hill to condition U.S. funding to Israel. We will be taking your questions.
