Israeli President Denounces UN World Court's Misrepresentation in Genocide Ruling

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 his statements as evidence of incitement and dehumanizing language. The court's ruling referenced Herzog's remarks following a Hamas attack, but Herzog claimed that the court ignored his subsequent comments condemning the killing of innocent civilians and respecting international laws of war. The court's ruling did not order an end to the Israeli military offensive but instructed Israel to prevent death, destruction, and acts of genocide in Gaza while demanding an end to incitement and a progress report within one month.
