Nicaragua targeted Germany rather than Israel's main ally, the United States, because Washington did not recognise the ICJ's jurisdiction in the case, Managua's lawyers have said.
Top lawyers from the two countries clashed earlier this month at the court, with Nicaragua saying Germany was "pathetic" to be both providing weapons to Israel and aid to Gazans.
In another procedure, South Africa has accused Israel -- which like the US is not a member of the court -- of perpetuating genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Israel "categorically" denies the South African accusations, which include responsibility for starvation.
