Why has Nicaragua taken Germany to the ICJ over Gaza genocide?

Nicaragua has filed a case against Germany at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, alleging that Germany facilitated the Gaza genocide by supplying Israel with military equipment and defunding UNRWA. The case, filed in March 2024, accuses Germany of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law. Germany, which is Israel's second-largest arms supplier after the U.S., denies the allegations and is challenging the admissibility of the case, arguing that Nicaragua did not follow proper procedural steps. The ICJ is currently determining whether the case can proceed to a full examination of the allegations. This follows a similar case brought by South Africa against Israel, which also alleged genocide in Gaza.
