Top UN court cautions Israel against 'genocidal acts', stops short of calling for ceasefire January 26, 2024 at 04:02AM

The International Court of Justice has asked Israel to take every measure to improve the humanitarian situation for Palestinians in the region. However, it stopped short of ordering a "ceasefire". However, at this stage of the conflict, the ICJ is not considering whether Israel is actually committing genocide in Gaza since that process will take several years. But the ruling was still seen as a victory by South Africa, which accused Israel of committing genocidal acts.
