Human Rights Watch said the Israeli government had not complied with at least one measure in the legally binding order issued by the International Court of Justice.

The organization added that the court ordered Israel to take immediate and effective measures to provide basic services and humanitarian aid in Gaza.

The organization explained that even after a month, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution of fuel and life-saving aid inside Gaza.

The organization confirmed that what is happening in Gaza are acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes, and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war.

Rights Watch called on other countries to use all forms of influence, including sanctions and embargoes, to pressure the Israeli government to comply with binding court orders in the genocide case.

The human rights organization urged other countries to use all forms of pressure, including sanctions and embargoes, to pressure the Israeli government to comply with binding court orders in the genocide case.

“The Israeli government is starving 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza, putting them at greater risk than they were before the international court’s binding decision,” said Omar Shaker, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch.

Rights Watch continued, "The Israeli government has simply ignored the court's ruling and, in some respects, has even intensified its repression, including obstructing life-saving aid."

Today, Monday, Israel is preparing to submit an official report to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, to review its commitment to the court’s decisions in which it obligated Tel Aviv to take the necessary measures to prevent genocide in the Gaza Strip.

It is expected that Israel will officially inform the court that it is implementing the orders related to allowing the entry of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza, and that it has taken steps to prevent genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, although this comes in conjunction with the continuation of its increasingly attacks and violations that have aroused the anger of humanitarian organizations and international bodies. .

On January 11, South Africa filed a lawsuit before the International Court of Justice, ruling Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, and issuing an order forcing it to withdraw its forces. Israel rejected the accusations against it in a court session - the next day. .

In a temporary ruling issued on January 26, the Court of Justice asked Israel to take measures to prevent genocide in Gaza and direct incitement to it, and to improve the humanitarian situation in the Strip. It also rejected the Israeli request by rejecting the case. But in return, it rejected South Africa's request to order a ceasefire.

International Justice gave Israel one month to submit a detailed report on the measures it has taken in this regard, which Israel is expected to implement today, Monday.

Today, Monday, is the sixth and final day of hearings held by the Court of Justice regarding the legal consequences of Israel’s practices in the occupied Palestinian territories, at the request of the United Nations General Assembly.
