Arab states issue demand to the UN (that Israel comply with a World Court)
http://newsfromrussia.com/world/2004/07/13/54930.html

Arab states on Monday sought an emergency session of the U.N. General Assembly to demand that Israel comply with a World Court ruling that its West Bank security barrier is illegal and must be dismantled.

According to Reuters, the Arab Group of governments at the United Nations called on the 191-nation assembly to meet on Friday to take up a draft resolution seeking to implement last week's ruling by the International Court of Justice, the Palestinian U.N. observer, Nasser al-Kidwa, told reporters.

The court, based in The Hague, issued an "advisory opinion" last Friday that the planned 370-mile barrier violates international law by cutting deep into West Bank land occupied and dotted with settlements by Israel since the 1967 Middle East War.

1. Could they not launch a "premptive attack," on Israel ...
given the precedent recently established by "King Crusader"?

Israel is, in fact, in violation of International law.
