Nicaragua has asked the UN's highest court to halt German weapons sales to Israel at the start of a landmark case, APA reports citing BBC.
Germany is accused of breaching the UN genocide convention by sending military hardware to Israel and ceasing funding of the UN's aid agency.
Berlin rejects the claims and will present a defence to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday.
In 2023 some 30% of Israel's military equipment purchases came from Germany, totalling €300m ($326m; £257m).
The allegations build on a separate case taken by South Africa in January, where judges in the Hague ordered Israel to take "every possible measure" to avoid genocidal acts. The court also ordered Hamas to release all hostages taken from Israel during its 7 October attacks immediately.
