Paragraph 82: "The report so provided shall then be communicated to South Africa, which shall be given the opportunity to submit to the Court its comments thereon."

The report is to be submitted to the court. The court will communicate the report to South Africa.

Words matter.

Kudos to South Africa for standing up for Palestine. Arabs take note on how to grow a spine.

Its embarassing to watch so called Arab kings and Guardians of the Two Holy Mosque standing completeley on the sideline. While South Africa and Latin America, which are christian majority and non-Arab countries 10 000 miles away from the conflict, are showing real spine.
 
70. The Court considers that the civilian population in the Gaza Strip remains extremely vulnerable. It recalls that the military operation conducted by Israel after 7 October 2023 has resulted, inter alia, in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries and the destruction of homes, schools, medical facilities and other vital infrastructure, as well as displacement on a massive scale (see paragraph 46 above). The Court notes that the operation is ongoing and that the Prime Minister of Israel announced on 18 January 2024 that the war “will take many more long months”. At present, many Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have no access to the most basic foodstuffs, potable water, electricity, essential medicines or heating.

71. The WHO has estimated that 15 per cent of the women giving birth in the Gaza Strip are likely to experience complications, and indicates that maternal and newborn death rates are expected to increase due to the lack of access to medical care.

72. In these circumstances, the Court considers that the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is at serious risk of deteriorating further before the Court renders its final judgment.
 
NB. The ICJ merely "calls for" the release of Zionist prisoners - this is not one of the six legally binding provisional measures adopted by the ICJ.
 
ICJ interim measures 3-6 (legally binding):

3) The State of Israel shall take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip

4) The State of Israel shall take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip

5) The State of Israel shall take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II and Article III of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip

6) The State of Israel shall submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month as from the date of this Order.

para. 82: [...] the Court considers that Israel must submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month, as from the date of this Order. The report so provided shall then be communicated to South Africa, which shall be given the opportunity to submit to the Court its comments thereon.

What steps will Israel feasibly take to show it is preventing and punishing incitement to commit genocide in Gaza? Will it prosecute Yoev Gallant, whose genocidal statement referral to Palestinians as "human animals" was read out by the ICJ today?

Will Israel take "effective measures" to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza within a month? The ICJ's ruling emphasises that the current humanitarian situation is "catastrophic".

I predict that South Africa will have a very easy job of telling the ICJ that Israel is not complying with these legally binding interim measures.

I am glad this plight was highlighted.

South Africa will continue to take the lead on this.

What is so terrible, Uganda of all countries voted against... We know Isreali mossad and agencies are very active in Uganda. It is no surprise .

That imbecile Mark Regev who is Dr Goebels of this ZioNazi regime should be on the pedestle for war crimes.

These people supported and funded Hamas all along. I am sure this entire Oct 7th was a falseflag op to drive out the palestinians.
 
Persian Gulf said:
"The ruling says that Israel needs to take every measure in its power to prevent things that could lead to genocide. It’s for legal scholars now to look at this, because those include preventing killings of people within the protected group.

Well, the protected group is Palestinians, so if you are going to protect Palestinians in Gaza, and for that matter probably in the West Bank, how can that happen when Israel continues its indiscriminate bombardment on the ground in Gaza?"

- James Bays, al-Jazeera

Clearly the evidence, in particular the last 48 hours - every measure isn’t been taken and in fact the bombardment has escalated. There is no way in any court in any land Israel can justify that genocide isn’t taken place.

Israel is as of today associated with the crime of genocide primarily as perpetrator, not victim.
