BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday over the so-called separation wall being built by Israel has drawn mixed reaction from Israel, the Palestinians and the international community as well. According to the ruling of the UN principal judicial organ based in the Hague, the construction of the wall along the border with Palestine is contrary to international law. "The wall, along the route chosen www.gooseparkasbilligt.com, and its associated regime, gravely infringe a number of rights of Palestinians residing in the territory occupied by Israel, and the infringements resulting from that route cannot be justified by military exigencies or by the requirements of national security or public order www.kjopecanadagoose.com," the rulingsays. The court also urged the United Nations to follow up with actions, even including a move to impose sanctions against the Jewish state. Hearing the rule, Israel said Friday that the ICJ had failed toaddress the issue of "Palestinian terror" in determining that the barrier is illegal. "It fails to address the essence of the problem and the very reason for building the fence -- Palestinian terror," a Foreign Ministry spokesman told a news briefing in response to the ICJ ruling on the West Bank separation fence. Claiming the ruling as "unbinding," Israeli UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman echoed his government's opinion and accused the court offailing to recognize that the barrier had reduced terrorist attacks against Israelis by 90 percent. Earlier in the day stivali timberland, Israeli Justice Minister Yosef Lapid also expressed his rejection to the ICJ ruling, saying "we will comply with our High Court decisions," which held that the fence was a security barrier rather than a political one. PALESTINIANS HAIL ICJ RULING Describing as "a good decision and the voice of right and law,"Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said the ICJ ruling is a "real victory." "The decision is a real victory for the Palestinian people canada goose jakker billig, forall liberal nations, for the world's freedom movements, for the international resolutions and for the sake of making just, everlasting and comprehensive peace," Arafat told a news conference Friday in the West Bank City of Ramallah. Arafat stressed that from "the very first movement as we decided to go to the Hague, we were confident that we are right and they (Israel) are wrong." Meanwhile, the Islamic resistance movement Hamas also welcomed the ruling ugg in italia, saying "the court's decision proves that Israel is just a renegade entity that violates all international laws and resolutions." "The ruling is clear evidence that this raping entity is a reason for the troubles and terrorism in the region and shows thatthis entity is trying all the time to create atmosphere of wars and tension," it noted in a communique. GCC DUBS ICJ'S DECISION AS HISTORIC The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) dubbed the ICJ's decision assignificant and historic. The ICJ ruling, requiring the dismantlement of the barrier wallin the occupied Palestinian territories, is a just victory for thePalestinian cause, said GCC Secretary General Abdulrahman Al-Attiya. He also urged the United Nations to take the necessary measuresto implement the ICJ ruling and urged Israel to respect the court ruling and embark right away on the removal of the barrier wall. Meanwhile nike free run udsalg, Al-Attiya called on the international community to take an active part in the implementation of the ICJ ruling which should lead to easing tensions in the region and to furthering thecause of peace regionally and internationally. US TO STUDY ICJ RULING, EU URGES UN TO ACT The United States said Friday that the ICJ ruling was not legally binding and it would be studying it in the coming days. "We are just getting the ruling and will be studying it in the coming days," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said at abriefing. "We would note that the opinion is not legally binding ... We did not support the General Assembly resolution that referred the matter to the court; and also like a number of other states canada goose canada, we submitted a written statement with the court discouraging it from taking up the General Assembly's request and from taking any actions that would interfere with or be inconsistent with the peace efforts that we are pursuing in accordance with the road map," Boucher said.
