Can the Arab League “Sue” Israel in the ICJ?

Can the Arab League “Sue” Israel in the ICJ?

Here is an interesting but ultimately futile act: 

Arab Foreign Ministers meeting in Cairo on Thursday decided to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice against the Israeli occupation government for its drive to Judaize Jerusalem.

A diplomatic source at the Arab League said that the ministers had three issues on their agenda; dangers engulfing Jerusalem, discussion of the report by the committee commissioned to investigate Israeli war crimes during the war on Gaza and to reach a common Arab stand towards the latest developments in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

It all sounds very good, but what is that source of ICJ jurisdiction? Or will it be another General Assembly referral?

I don’t know that much about the ICJ, but surely it has some requirement of standing – would ‘the Arab league’ have standing??
