International Court of Justice (ICJ) places huge burden on Israel to prevent Genocide in Gaza in case brought by South Africa

The interim ICJ ruling in the Hague yesterday has served notice on Israel that it must do all it can to prevent its forces etc from inflicting genocide as a result of its military operations in Gaza. This judgment has force of international law but there are no powers of enforcement. Israel has denounced the process but its friends and allies are now under even greater pressure to push for observation of international norms and laws.

Given that estimates of total deaths now exceed 26000 and a further 64000+injured, mainly civilians, including a staggering 10000 children (1% of the population), it is clear that what has been justified by Israel as an anti-terrorist operation has killed far more civilians than Hamas

https://www.voanews.com/a/gaza-death-toll-climbs-above-26-000-health-ministry-reports/7458258.html#:~:text=Gaza's%20Health%20Ministry%20said%20Friday,than%20three%20months%20of%20war.

If the number of deaths were proportionated to the population size of Britain (68m) that would mean an equivalent death toll here would be in excess of 800,000 people.
