GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — On Oct. 3, the United States said it was pulling out of the optional protocol of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which provides the International Court of Justice (ICJ) compulsory jurisdiction over disputes between state parties to international treaties and conventions.
US national security adviser John Bolton told reporters at the White House, “This is in connection with a case brought by the so-called state of Palestine naming the United States as a defendant, challenging our move of our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.”
