How did they not demand an immediate cease fire!!! 30 days to what???? I’m beyond disappointed there’s no justice or morality left in this world. Totally heartbroken 💔

[alexissvetrev]

Kudos to aljazeera to show the actual ruling instead of commentary. The judgement was a glimmer of hope in a messed up world. Mad respect to judges for cool calm and reasonable judgement

[alifarhi]

Let's give our South African brothers a standing ovation and respect. They've proved to be the real UBUNDU Nation. God bless you.

JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED TO SAVE HUMANITY FROM OPPRESSORS

[amaan-t]

Thank you Al Jazeera for every report you have made on this issue. International Court of Justice, why did Netanyahu meet you before the announcement of the final decision? just so that you can take more 30 days? that's a shame. I believe. soon ICJ will lose its credibility.

If the ICJ doesn't give justice to innocent Palestinians, it would the prove that there is no justice in this world. The world want justice for innocent Palestinians.

Remembering Martin L King's famous quote: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". It's a serious matter of humanity to be saved!!

Court orders Israel to take all measures to prevent genocide
The ICJ orders Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide.

It says Israel must ensure its forces do not commit genocide and ensure preservation of evidence of alleged genocide.

ICJ orders Israel to report to it within one month
Israel must report to the court within a month on what it is doing to uphold the order to take all measures within its power to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.

Judge Donoghue says the ruling creates international legal obligations for Israel.

Thank goodness for South Africa's legal team! A superb effort! May God/Allah help the people of Gaza in their suffering.

SO PROUD OF MY COUNTRY SA.We are for the people of GAZA .FREEDOM IS COMING TOMORROW

[rhdrewable]

The ruling rejects Israel's claims that the court doesn't have jurisdiction and finds that South Africa's concerns are valid, and it rules that the Palestinians are a protected class of people. Some important findings here that set the stage to hold Israel accountable.

[NtonkaR]

I’m just relieved that the Palestinian people will receive aid (food, water, heat, medical supplies etc) that they desperately need. Super proud of my South African people for standing up for victims of apartheid instead of just sitting idle. God bless Palestine 🇵🇸 God bless South Africa 🇿🇦 and every peace loving country on earth.

One Are you kidding .STOP IT IMMEDIATELY RIGHT NOW!!!!

Those to whom the people said, “The people have assembled against you, so fear them.” But this only increased them in faith, and they said, “Allah is sufficient for us, and what an excellent Trustee.”

Quran (3:173)

[johnyrico]

By the time this is done there will be nobody left in Gaza.

[rezzyg]

I was actually surprised that the US judge voted for. God bless her! Hope that she doesn't get into trouble with her career back home.

[hennaonfire]

They basically said stop killing so many civilians and publicly talking about genocide.

[ahimsainthekitchen]

I am originally from Slovakia, I am very proud of my homeland. They did not let US and Israel to bully them. And they tried...Thank you Slovakia! Proud to be Slovak, so proud of Judge Peter Tomka, ICJ.

[Pain-And-Gain]

Please understand that this is an interim ruling, and the final ruling has yet to be announced. South Africa has asked the court for a temporary measure to halt Israeli operations inside Gaza in the meantime to prevent further loss of life.
interim ruling: A decision by the court in civil proceedings that only deals with part of the matter in dispute.
Now if Israel and the US follow the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and if the final ruling was the complete ceasefire plus if Israel is found guilty, then we will have a very bright future for Palestine. However, if Israel and the US don’t comply, then they will demonstrate that the ICJ, ICC, and UN are just a joke, and these international entities will lose their authority in no time.

Summary:
The court agrees with South Africas case and requested measures to be effected immediately in stopping the harm and to Palestinians, and for all necessary aid to be given to Palestinians.

The court also mentioned that Hamas to release Israel hostages unconditionally. (while I don't get what this last part has to do with the case)

Provisional measures (at least what I captured):
1. ...take all measures to prevent all acts of [killings and damage, emotional or physical].
2. ...Israel must not commit any acts of [harm]
3. ..Israel shall take all measures within it's power to [prevent and punish those who commit genocide against Palestinians].
4. [Israel to effectively allow all necessary humanitarian aids].
5. [Israel must prevent the destruction and insure preservation of evidence of acts above and the punishment against those who commit it].
6. [Israel must submit reports on the measures done to insure the above within one month of the order] (which South Africa shall get a copy of and can provision).

Most of above measures were voted in-favor 15:2 or 16:1.

Please note that Israel is not forced to enforce nor accept any of the above unfortunately.
