UN Court DEMANDS Israel Prevent GENOCIDE in Gaza: A Closer Look at the Controversial Ruling

The United Nations’ highest court has issued a mandate to Israel. The order is to prevent any acts of genocide in Gaza. However, the ruling did not call for a halt to the ongoing military operation that has wreaked havoc on the Palestinian region.

This verdict could place Israel under legal examination for an extended period. It originates from a genocide lawsuit filed by South Africa and delves into one of the globe’s most intricate conflicts.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees the court’s readiness to entertain genocide charges as a “mark of shame.” Despite facing global pressure and criticism for Israel’s wartime actions, Netanyahu remains committed to continuing with the war.

The conflict has led to over 26,000 Palestinian deaths and displaced nearly 85% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million. The Israeli government, established as a Jewish state after World War II following the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews, feels deeply wounded by these accusations.
