• The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to deliver a ruling on the complaint submitted by South Africa accusing Israel of carrying out genocide in Gaza.
• South Africa has requested nine urgent orders known as provisional measures, primarily for the court to order Israel to “immediately suspend its military operations in and against Gaza.”
• Israel has presented more than 30 declassified documents to the ICJ, including some authorizing humanitarian aid into Gaza, to rebut the charges of genocidal intent.
• The ICJ's orders are binding, but the UN does not have the capacity to enforce them.
