International Justice imposes “provisional measures” on Israel in the case of genocide

The court added, during the session announcing its decision to accept the lawsuit filed by South Africa, that “Pretoria has the right to file the lawsuit and Israel’s request to dismiss it cannot be accepted.”


The court affirmed, "We will not reject the case of genocide against Israel."


It stated that its decision to accept the lawsuit took into account the statements of Israeli officials regarding dehumanizing the Palestinians, as well as the concern of independent human rights officials about Israeli hate speech.


It also added that it took into account the statement of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) about the deteriorating humanitarian conditions and the frustration of the population in Gaza.


The International Court of Justice recognized the right of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to protection from acts of genocide, saying that some of the rights that South Africa seeks to obtain are logical.


The session of the International Court of Justice began, on Friday, in the Dutch city of The Hague, to decide on South Africa’s request to take precautionary measures in the “genocide” lawsuit filed against Israel.


The Court of Justice said that it has the authority to rule on emergency measures in the genocide case against Israel, and that the conditions are available to impose interim measures.
