South Africa President Celebrates World Court Ruling | VOA News

South African President Ramaphosa celebrated with party members on January 26 as they watched the World Court ruling on Israel live on a big screen.

The U.N.’s International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to “take all measures in its power” to prevent genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip but stopped short of ordering a cease-fire in the embattled territory.

The preliminary ruling delivered Friday by the 17-judge ICJ ordered Israel to enable the provision of basic services and humanitarian assistance in Gaza, where most of the territory’s 2.3 million people are struggling to find adequate food and shelter after three months of fighting between Israel and militant group Hamas.

The case was brought to the court by South Africa, which argued that Israel is violating the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention, established in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust. #ICJ #SouthAfrica #Israel #reels #videography #voanews
