ICJ Issues Interim Ruling in Genocide Case Against Israel

Court demands Israel prevent acts of genocide, but does not instruct immediate suspension of military operation in Gaza.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued an interim ruling in the case initiated by South Africa against Israel, asserting that Israel is committing genocide in violation of the Genocide Convention.
The ICJ has demanded that Israel take actions to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of the Genocide Convention, including killing members of the group, i.e., Palestinians in Gaza.
The court did not instruct Israel to immediately suspend its military operation in and against Gaza.
The ICJ ruling is a provisional success for South Africa, but the court's decision does not mean that its jurisdiction over the case, the admissibility of the claim, or the merits of the matter are a foregone conclusion.
The ICJ has ordered Israel to take immediate and effective measures to allow the passage of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
