"US Court Dismisses Lawsuit Alleging Biden's Complicity in Israel's Gaza Campaign Genocide"

A US federal court in California ruled that Israel's military campaign in Gaza "plausibly" amounts to genocide, but dismissed a case aimed at stopping US military support for Israel as being outside its jurisdiction. The judge implored the defendants to examine the results of their support for the military siege against Palestinians in Gaza. The court's decision was based on the grounds that the matter lay outside its jurisdiction and involved serious political questions. The Palestinian groups may appeal the dismissal and urged the Biden administration to heed the judge's call to examine and end its support. The ruling referred extensively to the genocide case brought against Israel by South Africa in the International Court of Justice, which issued provisional measures calling on Israel to prevent acts covered by the genocide convention.

"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.
