What Hamas and Israel had to say before the ICJ ruling

Osama Hamdan, Hamas spokesperson: “First, if the court in The Hague issues a ruling to cease fire, the Hamas movement will abide by the ceasefire as long as the enemy abides by it. Second, Hamas will release the Zionist prisoners detained if the occupying state releases all the Palestinian prisoners detained by it.”

Eylon Levy, an Israeli government official: “We expect the ICJ to throw out these spurious and suspicious charges.”
