The World Court will rule on Friday that Israel's West Bank barrier infringes Palestinian rights and must be dismantled, China Daily online quoted Israel's Haaretz newspaper as saying.

Israel has voiced its unwillingness to accept what is expected to be among the most watched rulings in the 58 years of the Court, based in The Hague, the report said.

While the Jewish state says the barrier has improved security, Palestinians call it a land grab.
