The UN General Assembly has asked the UN's highest court to give a legal opinion on what was termed  Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. 

The resolution was backed by 87 countries but opposed by 26 others, including the UK and US.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issues binding rulings, but it cannot enforce them.

PM Netanyahu described the vote  as "despicable".
