"ICJ Orders Israel to Prevent Genocide in Gaza: Implications for Global Powers"

The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to take all measures to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza, following a case brought by South Africa. While the court did not call for a halt to Israel's military action, it found a plausible case under the 1948 Genocide Convention and ordered Israel to take immediate and effective measures to prevent genocide in Gaza, including against public incitement to genocide. Israel has vehemently rejected the accusation as "wholly unfounded" and is not expected to commit itself to the orders.
