The European Union confirmed on Friday that it expects a “full and immediate” implementation of the International Court of Justice’s decision in which it asked Israel to “do everything in its power to prevent any acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip.”

A joint statement by EU Foreign Policy Commissioner Josep Borrell and the European Commission said that the decisions of the "International Court of Justice are binding on the parties and they must abide by them. The European Union expects their full, immediate and effective implementation."

On Friday, the International Court of Justice called on Israel to take all measures to prevent “genocide” in Gaza.

During the session devoted to deciding on interim measures regarding the genocide lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel, she confirmed that Israel’s request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by South Africa could not be accepted. The International Court of Justice also imposed temporary measures on Israel.

The South African government also announced its welcome of the temporary measures imposed by international justice on Israel in the framework of the lawsuit it filed in The Hague.
