What the ICJ ruling means for Israel and its allies | DW News

Israel has rejected an order from the International Court of Justice in The Hague to immediately stop its military offensive in the southern Gazan city of Rafah. The court described the humanitarian situation there as disastrous but stopped short of ordering a full cease-fire. Israel insists its operations inside Gaza is in line with international law. Israel has been conducting military operations in Gaza since the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas.

The difference is Putin is sentenced by the ICC, so he will be arrested in germany. But Netanayaha is not. The ICJ only judges counties and not individuals. And seeing the current stand that Germany takes, i think the opposite will happen as what you say. Germany will not arrest him when he would enter germany, since german politics still favours diplomatic relation with israel instead of taking a clear side.

I partially agree, but I think the main driving force for Israelis who support the war crimes is nationalism and racism. For Netanyahu it's also the only way to stay in power and outside of jail, that's why he is also keeping a backdoor open to attack Iran again in case the Gaza war has to stop one way or another. He needs to keep war going or he will lose his office power and will consequently go to jail for corruption and other charges.

Thanks for pointing this out. What we witness here is a horrific misrepresentation of a court ruling by journalists who should know better.

You can't reject ICJ ruling, you can only ignore. Israel's choice is always to ignore and claim that they keep the international law while Hamas doesn't. What ICJ have to do is to make it difficult for them to insist such claim.

[@automatoncollectives7237]

The ruling is symbolic and not legally enforceable as there is no mechanism in place to do so. In order to make it enforceable, you’d need a UN Security Council resolution against Israel to enforce or impose any measures. Seeing how the U.S. would veto such resolution, it’s not going to come to fruition.

[@fatdoi003]

countries can place sanctions and recall ambassadors if they want to

[@nuqwestr]

Russia might even join the USA. Also, the PA is a member of the ICJ, not Hamas. There's a jurisdiction issue, as Hamas has politically controlled Gaza since June 2007.

Hopefully South Africa will live long enough to get rid of the corrupt ANC terrorist sympathisers who have brought these applications and have led the country and its institutions to a state of dysfunction and the verge of bankruptcy. Is it a coincidence that before it's foreign minister's visit to Iran just after October 7th the ANC were having their computers and furniture attached to be sold to pay judgement debts for last elections posters, and were then suddenly miraculously able not only to pay the debts, but to afford to fund the current election campaign and this very expensive lawfare against Israel?

[@eddastrohmayer251]

No countries impose rules to the world. It's International law worked out together from best experts also fom Western states

[@SeanChYT]

As an example: More than 60 countries in the world has laws against homosexuality. Burundi just recommended the population kill gays by stoning. The current ICJ president that read the verdict is also from Lebanon, and rockets are fired from Lebanon daily against Israeli civilians. It's a bad joke. In the sport of "world democracy", the tiny ethnic and religious minority in Israel always lose. There are too many marxists, jihadists, and antisemites around. Just count the number of UN resolutions against Israel. It's more than against all other countries of the world combined.

Okay.. explain to me; “The opposition also against the ruling” but you also say there are positions across the board. This doesn’t make sense. Just say: Overall Israel is against the icj ruling with opposition and prime minister on the same side.

[@drlarryjohnson7880]

There is no "Law" in geopolitics. Law without enforcement is no law. The Western press might as well stop deluding its listeners. Israel does what it does because it can, being protected by powerful patron nations like America and Germany. Russia does what it does, because it can; And China will to against Taiwan, when it determines (or deludes itself which humans are want to do) the potential consequences are tolerable.
