Israel Fears International Court Ruling Will Stop War Against Hamas


Israel is proven to have committed war crimes in Gaza. Following a lawsuit from South Africa, Tel Aviv is concerned and anticipating a possible International Court of Justice (ICC) ruling forcing Israel to halt its ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The Israel Broadcasting Authority said in a brief statement that Tel Aviv was concerned about the issuance of a court decision in The Hague ordering a cessation of hostilities in Gaza, without providing further details.

South Africa suspended relations with Israel on November 21, in response to its army’s intensive attacks on the Gaza Strip. And then on December 29, they petitioned the ICJ to begin genocide proceedings against Tel Aviv.

They asked Israel to immediately stop all acts and actions that violate its obligations as a signatory to the 1948 Genocide Convention.

South Africa used photographic evidence taken by Turkey’s global news agency Anadolu to show that Israel committed war crimes in its incessant attacks on the Gaza Strip as it filed a genocide case against Tel Aviv at the ICC.

In the case file submitted by South Africa to the Hague-based international tribunal, Anadolu photos, which were also featured in the Amnesty International report, serve as evidence to help prove Israel’s use of banned white phosphorus munitions in Gaza, one example. the most densely populated region in the world.

“Israel has engaged, is engaging in, and is at risk of further complicity in acts of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza,” the African country said.

Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on October 7, killing at least 22,185 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounding around 58,000 others, according to local health authorities.

Israel’s offensive has caused devastation in Gaza, with 60% of the territory’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed, and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
