Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling against Israeli settlements. Netanyahu stated that the Jewish people are not occupiers in their own land, including Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. He emphasized that no false decision from The Hague can distort this historical truth or undermine the legality of Israeli settlements. Some of Netanyahu's ministers have called for the official annexation of the West Bank in response to the ICJ ruling.
