"Israeli President Accuses UN World Court of Misrepresenting Genocide Ruling, Calls it 'Selective Justice'"
TL;DR Summary
Israel's President Isaac Herzog accused the UN world court of misrepresenting his comments in a ruling that ordered Israel to protect Palestinians and prevent genocide in the Gaza Strip, citing the court's use of partial and fragmented quotes. The ruling referenced Herzog's statements following a Hamas attack, but Herzog argued that the court ignored his subsequent remarks condemning civilian killings and affirming Israel's commitment to international laws of war. The court's ruling did not halt the Israeli military offensive but instructed Israel to prevent death, destruction, and acts of genocide in Gaza.
