"Israel says it expects judges at The Hague will press ahead with a hearing on the West Bank security barrier, despite mounting international opposition.

Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry legal adviser Alan Baker says it is unlikely the International Court of Justice will cancel a planned hearing this month on the controversial West Bank security barrier.

Mr. Baker made his comments after more than 30 nations, including the United States, lodged objections against the court's authority to rule on the case. In addition to the United States, the nations include 15 members of the European Union, Russia, Canada, Australia and South Africa."
