As Israel's ground invasion of Rafah looms, the International Court of Justice has begun hearings on the legality of Israel's decades long occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Palestinian representatives told the court the Israel's discriminatory practices amounted to apartheid, and that their right to self-determination could never be up for negotiation. But unlike the genocide case South Africa brought against Israel, any findings will not be legally binding.

Guest: Victor Kattan, Assistant Professor in Public International Law at the University of Nottingham who has written widely on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His work has been cited by judges at the ICJ
