Israel says not to follow world court's anti-fence ruling

Israeli Justice Minister Yosef Lapid said Friday that Israel will not follow the International Court of Justice (ICJ)'s ruling if it rules against the security fence on the West Bank, the Ha'aretz daily reported.

The Hague-based ICJ is expected to give it advisory opinion on the wall later in the day.

Earlier Israeli reports said the ICJ would rule that the fence contravenes international law and must be dismantled.
