Netanyahu, Israel blast UN court decision over illegal settlements ruling: 'Fundamentally wrong'

The historic statement has no legally binding aspects, but Israeli officials have issued scathing indictments on the court and its decision-making process.

Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news. 

The opinion is merely advisory and is not legally binding. The court specifically aimed to provide its view on Israel’s policies and practices as well as the legal status of the settlements, the BBC reported. 

The court in May demanded Israel "immediately halt its military offensive" against Hamas in Rafah, the Palestinian terrorist group’s final stronghold in the Gaza Strip.
