Fifty-six countries, including Afghanistan and Cameroon, can testify against Israel's security fence through the Organization of the Islamic Conference when the case comes before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on February 23, the court ruled on Thursday.

This decision, which follows an ICJ ruling last week that Arab League members may testify, only further cements the deeply held belief by Israelis that the proceedings are biased and it is Israel, not the fence, which ultimately will be on trial.

A senior official said he wasn't surprised by the decision, calling it just one more step in the ICJ's and the UN's anti-Israel campaign. "They will do everything they can to bash Israel," he said.

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom spoke Thursday with US Secretary of State Colin Powell about the upcoming trial, explaining that as long as the Palestinians believe they can win in the court of world opinion, they will have no incentive to pursue peace as outlined in the US-sponsored road map.

Shalom said the US position is of paramount importance, as many countries look to its lead. He encouraged Powell to continue to work toward a joint US-Russian approach on the issue.
