Exploring the ICJ Ruling and the Status of East Jerusalem

Scott interviews Libertarian Institute Research Fellow Jeremy Hammond about the International Court of Justice’s recent ruling against Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory. He and Scott give some historical context to the ruling and the UN’s involvement in creating the situation between the Israelis and Palestinians in the first place. They also discuss the implications of the 2024 presidential election on American Israeli policy, the absurdity of labeling Israel a democracy and more.
