We watch live as the International Court of Justice verdict is delivered. Commentary from The Guardian:
‘The international court of justice’s (ICJ) ruling in South Africa’s genocide case was a powerful repudiation of Israel’s denialism. By an overwhelming majority, the court found a “plausible” case that provisional measures were needed to avoid “irreparable prejudice” from further Israeli acts in Gaza that could jeopardize Palestinian rights under the genocide convention… The court’s ruling was also a repudiation of Israel’s western backers. The Biden administration had called the suit “meritless”. The British government said it was “nonsense”. By a vote of 15 to 2, the ICJ judges found otherwise.’
Presumably difficult for the minority of countries assisting in Israel’s lethal activity to distance themselves from the ICJ now after being happy to note how it dealt with the sins of Myanmar and Serbia.
