Cabinet to boycott World Court hearing
Top cabinet members made the decision hours after legal advisers recommended Israel stay away from the proceedings set to begin on February 23 in The Hague, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office said.
"The ministerial team, headed by ... Sharon, decided to make do with the affidavit Israel filed on January 1, stating that the court does not have the authority to hold hearings on the fence," the statement said.
