(Finance) – The International Court of Justice of theAja has decided that there is sufficient urgency to order provisional measures against Israel. The judge Joan Donoghue in fact, it requires Israel to “take all measures to prevent any act of genocide to Gaza“. However, no indication came from the Court for a ceasefire in Gaza, contrary to the requests of the South Africa. The Court asked Israel to preserve evidence of the alleged genocide in Gaza. Donoghue in fact ordered Israel to report to the court within a month and also stated that measures must be taken to improve the humanitarian situation in the Strip.
Israel must then take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the living conditions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Court also called for the immediate and unconditional release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza in its statements regarding South Africa’s request for urgent measures. The Court finds that a dispute exists between Israel and South Africa and gives the court jurisdiction to rule on the case. Judge Donoghue stated this, according to which “at least some acts appear capable of falling within the genocide convention”, and “the Court believes it cannot accept Israel’s request to dismiss the case”.
“The very claim that Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian people is not only untrue but also outrageous. The Court’s willingness to consider it is a mark of shame that will not be erased for generations,” the prime minister said. Benjamin according to which “Israel is fighting a just war against the monsters of Hamas and the Court rightly rejected the request to deprive us of the right to self-defense”.
“Today marks a decisive victory for the international rule of law and a significant milestone in the search for justice for the Palestinian people – he commented South African Foreign Ministrya few minutes after the end of the reading of the ICj pronouncement –. In a landmark ruling, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel’s actions in Gaza plausibly constitute genocide and indicated provisional measures on this basis. For the implementation of the international rule of law, the decision is epochal. South Africa thanks the Court for its swift decision.”
The Hague is an important step that contributes to isolating Israel and “exposing its crimes in Gaza”, said a representative of Hamas, quoted by international media and echoed by Israeli ones, calling for “the occupation to implement the decisions” of the International Court of Justice. Me too’Palestinian National Authority welcomed with satisfaction the decisions reached today by the International Court of Justice in The Hague. “The judges – the Palestinian Foreign Minister noted in a televised speech – Riad al-Malki – they established the facts and the law, they spoke out in favor of humanity and international law.”
The United States reiterated their position that accusations against Israel of genocide in Gaza are “unfounded”, following measures ordered by the International Court of Justice in The Hague. “We continue to believe that the allegations of genocide are unfounded and note that the Court did not find genocide or call for a ceasefire in its ruling,” a spokesperson for the Department of Statsor American after the court ordered Israel to do everything to “prevent the commission of all acts falling within the scope” of the Genocide Convention. “The orders of the International Court of Justice are binding on the parties and they must respect them: the European Union expects their full, immediate and effective implementation”, instead declared theHigh Representative and the Commission European.
