Arab states that are parties to the Genocide Convention could have invoked their status and filed cases against Israel in the ICJ.
So, why did Arab states not take any action?
Due to their severe violations of international human rights law, Arab governments would not face Israel or any other state before the ICJ or ICC to avoid facing similar cases before these international courts.
No Arab country stepped in to achieve this historical honour, as none dares to defy the US. Instead, they have a shameful history of human rights violations and are waiting for Israel to accomplish its mission of the destruction of Gaza"
