The UN Security Council will meet on Wednesday evening to consider the decision of the International Court of Justice, which called on Israel on Friday to prevent any possible act of “genocide” in the Gaza Strip, according to what the French presidency of the Council announced. The spokesman for the United Nations Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, said that the Secretary-General, António Guterres, will immediately refer the notification of the interim measures of the International Court of Justice to the UN Security Council. Dujarric added in a press conference that Guterres affirms that the decisions of the International Court of Justice are binding, and he is confident that all parties will abide by them in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the system under which the court was established.
