Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon expressed concern over the judges' past involvement in proceedings against Israel, citing their "troubling résumés." Specific judges, including Mahmoud Daifallah Hmoud and Phoebe Okowa, have previously taken adversarial positions or advised countries in cases concerning Israeli policies. Danon accused the UN of inherent bias against Israel, while the ICJ is currently hearing a case brought by South Africa against Israel.
