The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday ordered Israel to "immediately" halt its military offensive in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip.
Panel judges voted 13 to 2 in favor of the order, which characterized the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "disastrous" and "catastrophic."

I don't see Israel stopping if Hamas still exists.

Where is the order for Hamas to stop it's killing of the Jews? The ICJ has no right to order Israel to stop if Hamas will not stop.

This is like saying we can't stop people from killing our family.

The ICJ handles disputes between nations. Hamas is not a nation.

Separately, the International Criminal Court is indeed investigating Hamas, and prosecutors have called for the arrests of several Hamas leaders.

So they have no authority in this fight since Hamas is not a nation.

South Africa brought the charge against Israel that the ICJ is considering. Other nations have joined South Africa in the process.

"And as Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statue, the ICC thus has no jurisdiction to investigate alleged crimes." The ICC Takes Unprecedented Action with Israel-Hamas Leadership Arrest Warrants - Australian Institute of International Affairs
Jurisdiction matters so the ICC is merely symbolic except now Netanyahu has to watch where he travels if he decides to leave the country.

So you know, the USA is not a signer either on the ICC agreement. The only real question is why do we contribute to such nonsense?

OP is about the ICJ, not the ICC.
The icc goes after individuals who commit grave crimes against the
international community. The icj upholds international law between nations.

The International Court of Justice requested an arrest warrant for Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of ....

"Deliberately targeting civilians in conflict” ?

Yet
Israel minimizes civilian casualties more than anyone in history - expert

Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent
civilian harm than any military in history.

“In fact, by my analysis, Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent
civilian harm than any military in history—above and beyond what international
law requires and more than the [United States] did in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan”

The US State Department Is Amplifying the Smear Campaign Against Israel

"Deliberately targeting civilians in conflict” ?
“Causing extermination" ?

Yet
United Nations cuts estimate for deaths of women and children in Gaza in half


The United Nations quietly cuts estimate so people would not notice there lies.
New figure Israel is estimated to have killed one civilian for every combatant.

This is a low civilian casualty rate in an urban warfare, against an enemy that targets
civilians and rapes and captures civilian hostages, and hides in tunnels, and tries
to get its own civilians killed to make Israel look evil in the propaganda war.

In Iraq, American-led forces killed nearly 3.5 civilians for every combatant
killed. Yet Biden said Israel “has not done enough” to protect civilians.

"Denial of humanitarian relief supplies" ?
"Causing starvation as a method of war" ?

Yet
Accusing Israel of imposing a “total siege” is another total lie. Israel
has allowed in more than 18,000 trucks and 400,000 tons of food.

Meanwhile, Egypt has not allowed aid in but has not been indicted by this court.

In the meantime, Hamas is estimated to have made half a billion dollars by
stealing supplies ear marked for needy and selling them on the black market.


Israel has a robust system for dealing with accusations of war crimes. By the court’s
own rules, Israel’s court system should be allowed to investigate the charges first.

“How dare you compare the monsters of Hamas to the soldiers of the Israeli Army, the
world’s most moral military?” Mr. Netanyahu asked in a statement on Monday evening.

So, do you think South Africa is "not biased" against Israel?


We should be going after Iran that supply's Hamas, the Head of the terrorist snake.

The number 1 state sponsor of Terrorist: Iran has appointed itself kingpin
of radical Islamism. In the book of Daniel, Iran is "The king of the south"

Everything would be better, if only we had another war?

You’d support the (current) President should he take your advice, right?

The current president is two faced, stabs Israel in the back like his mentor.

Obama and his Iranian deal were one of the worst deals in American history.

Uh-huh.
So, you’d support Joe if he launched an all out attack on Iran, in, say, September?

It is the primary judicial branch of the United Nations. The authority is given to the ICJ by the commonwealth of nations themselves.

Israel is a full member of the United Nations since 1949.

The subject is that Israel isn't under the authority of the ICJ, justice is in the eye of the beholder, and we know well its skewed and bias "Opinion's"

The UN is a global world order machine, if the UN doesn't like Israel's actions then kick them out of the global clubhouse
