Hearings at the International Court of Justice are briefly interrupted by a protester who calls out “liars” as an Israeli official was presenting arguments.

A woman shouting “liars” could be heard on the feed from the court, which then went down for less than a minute before restarting, as the lawyer for Israel, Tamar Kaplan Tourgeman, was concluding her remarks.

A woman was seen being removed by court security guards.
