South Africa has demanded that the ICJ “issue an interim order for Israel to immediately suspend its military operations in Gaza.”
The issue of provisional measures under Article 41 is crucial. It is unlikely that meaningful provisional measures including the immediate suspension of Israeli military operations will be granted. And if it is granted by the ICJ, Israel will refuse to implement it.
What this suggests is that resulting from possible “pressures” (including bribes) on the 15 Judges of the ICJ, Israel (with the support of the US) will one able reach its goal of “Wiping Gaza off the Map” and excluding Palestinians from their homeland.
