The court finds that there is sufficient basis for South Africa to have filed its complaint at the court, and rejects Israels request for the case to be thrown out.
The court has “taken note” of statements made by senior Israeli officials, including Yoav Gallant’s saying that the IDF are “fighting human animals” and President Isaac Herzog’s words that “an entire nation out there is responsible” and that there are no “uninvolved” civilians.
The International Court of Justice determines ‘at least some of the rights claimed by South Africa and for which it is seeking protection are plausible, the right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from Genocide’.
I have some hopium that the ICJ will rule that it is a genocide (but it will probably take a few years), because the statements made by Israeli officials are just too blatant.
Although of course nothing will come of that ruling.
