Nicaragua called for the International Court of Justice to halt German military aid to Israel, arguing that Berlin's support enables acts of genocide and breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
Germany is the second-largest supplier of arms to Israel after the US.
Nicaragua's case is the latest legal attempt by a country with historic ties to the Palestinian people to stop Israel's offensive, after South Africa accused Israel of genocide at the court last year.
The allegations also come amid growing calls for Israel's allies to stop supplying the country with weapons.
Germany will present its arguments tomorrow but calls the case grossly biased, denying that Berlin is breaching international law.
