The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a ruling calling for Israel to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza. The court found plausible evidence suggesting Israel may have violated the UN Genocide Convention, ordering Israel to stop genocidal acts. The ruling has prompted the UN Security Council to schedule a meeting to discuss the matter. While the court did not explicitly call for a ceasefire, it implied that such provisions to prevent genocide cannot be implemented without a ceasefire. The ruling has raised concerns about potential global sanctions against Israel if it fails to comply with the court's orders.
Public incitement to genocide, in clear violation of the ICJ's order. Israel is sticking two fingers up to the international rule of law. https://t.co/oUxtssnqoR

"The court ruling, while not explicitly calling for a ceasefire, implied such, as the provisions to prevent genocide in accordance with the court ruling cannot be implemented barring a ceasefire" ✍️ Opinion by Zeenat Adam https://t.co/K70jKkLprj
The mere fact that the ICJ has ordered measures implies that the Court considers a genocide prima facie evidenced. The Court could only decide on provisional measures if and to the extent it considered genocide and genocidal intent prima facie evidenced, which it did
International Court Says Israel May Have Committed Acts of Genocide The ICJ ruling found “plausible” evidence suggesting Israel may have violated the UN Genocide Convention, but stopped short of demanding a ceasefire. Story: https://t.co/QAnMU3TDCH https://t.co/oU0TMCHAkr
The Court did find a genocide is real and imminent in Gaza. Not for the purposes of final determination of responsibility and guilt but for the purposes of decreeing provisional measures (the state of the legal process now). Paragraph 74 is clear https://t.co/93NWUUKKXF

This is the critical paragraph. I encourage everyone to read the preceding paragraphs in the section. The Court has in fact determined that - for the purposes of decreeing provisional measures - there is a real and imminent danger that a genocide is occurring https://t.co/8LJOPLqIth
The Court judged not just that on the face of all existing evidence - adduced in the ruling - it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide. It also ruled that the risk genocidal acts are being committed is real and imminent. It ordered Israel to stop them https://t.co/8LJOPLqIth
