Israel International Court of Justice Genocide case decision.  On Jan. 26, 2024, the International Court of justice by a vote of 15-2 ordered provisional measures in the case of the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel).  The Court’s decision recalled the attack of Oct. 7, 2023, on Israel with hostage taking and loss of life, as well as the human suffering, loss of life, displacement of civilians and damage to the infrastructure in Gaza caused by Israel. The ICJ declined to order Israel to immediately suspend its military operations in and against Gaza. But it did order Israel to take all measures within its power’ to prevent the commission of acts prohibited in the Genocide Convention, and to take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of humanitarian relief to Gaza.
