the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, the, put on them. this is the news, our life from jo. how coming off in the next 16 minutes, a landmark case at the hague, south africa, takes israel to the international court of justice for committing genocide against the people of casa, which i can look at how the i c, j may help break the deadlock at the un security council, or the gaza,

me mazda is really on slot, continues 40 people are killed in an attack me, alex hall specials. deliberating you money to then have the guys that continues to face nearly inside of mount to move, changes into dangerous to authorize. the world health organization cancels an admission to move in gaza for the 6th time. in 2 weeks, the delegation from south africa and israel have now arrived in the hague for a case that is attracting world wide attention in the coming hours. the international court of justice will hear arguments from south africa, accusing israel of committing genocide against the people of gauze. a israel will defend itself against these accusations on friday from the hague step boss, and explains just how the case could be a game changer. it seen as one of the most prominent cases in the more than 75 year

long history of the international court of justice. 17 charges we'll have to decide if it's ro is committing genocide. that is deliberately wiping out palestinians in gaza as an ethnic group entirely. or in part, the genocide convention was anonymously adopted in 1948 after world war 2, a unified commitment by the international community to napa, let atrocities like the holocaust happen again. south africa, i decided to bring the case before the world's highest court after un resolutions calling for a stop to israel's actions in gosh, i, we're either fee towed or ignored by israel. the is a compelling argument. the general site is being committed and in gaza on the basis that is in an under elation or can single facing indian population. and then also the, the, the quotes or for is what i had a minute stuff. and in general,

as of that, i'm able to, to, to, to an elite, the entire population of putting from, from the augusta the, the funding fund has been affinity of the game. so, but forgot is not free until the people of palestine, i think, is reality nice. it is committing genocide, calling the case blocked libel, a false anti semitic accusation. they say history will judge south africa. this really delegation was not available to comment. wednesday, exports on international law call. us ironic. that's 75 years off to the genocide convention was adopted because of the hollow cost is really is for outlets will be in the dark facing genocide, accusations mistakes, here are the please palace and they have a high because the un court is the highest funny. the un has to uphold international law. south africa has asked the court for an urgent injunction to stop israel's military campaign. both cases at the i, c. j usually take years, a decision, unprofessional measures,

is expected with in weeks the procedure of the un as a whole, as a system is hanging in the balance here. this is a moment for the west to actually answer to the, the signs of the, of international law that they have has so sacred i. c, j. o. world court decisions are binding, but the court has no power to enforce them. recently me, on my end, russia ignored verdicts to stop potential genocidal exit government on south africa . hopes that if they win, it will further increase international pressure on countries like the united states who are backing is for out to do more to stop the fighting, steadfast and algebra take. and as we mentioned, the hearings of the international court of justice at the hague shows or to last 2 days with both parties being out. the arguments acts those on which takes a closer look at some of the cases main highlights at the united nations highest court. israel stands accused of carrying out genocide in gaza. south africa has filed

a $84.00 page document with the international court of justice and the hague is claims. israel has killed more than $17000.00 palestinians from october until december last year. just on december 7th, approximately one. palestinian was killed in gauze up every 4 minutes. entire families had been wiped out with no remaining survivors. at the heart of south africa's legal argument is the mess. expulsion of palestinians. 85 percent of the population has been forced to leave their homes. 60 percent of the homes and guys are now destroyed and civilians following the evacuation orders were targeted by israeli forces on designated safety routes. the case also highlights the dire humanitarian. the crisis into strip. experts are predicting that more palestinians and gaza may die from starvation and disease, then air strikes. the submission also includes inflammatory statements made by

israeli leaders. this really presidents that it's an entire nation out there that is responsible. it's not true that rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. it's absolutely not true. this really minister of energy and infrastructure tweeted, oldest civilian a population in gauze ice order to leave immediately. we will when they will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world. the deputy speaker of the canasta tweeted, we all have one common goal, raising the gaza strip from the face of the earth. the former had of these really national security council said the state of israel has no choice, but to make us a place that is temporarily permanently impossible to live in. the us must ultimately back even in operation like this. even if there are thousands of bodies of civilians, industries afterwards and gaza will become a place where no human being can exist. there are also examples of the destruction of palestinian. the identity,

which i believe south africa's legal team is led by for me you and envoy, john, to gar take it, compares israel's actions and gaza to crimes carried out in south africa during the apartheid era. but proving genocidal intent is legally complicated. israel's defense theme is represented by the former head of these really supreme court a wrong but rock he's denied all accusations and argues israel's actions had been made in self defense in response to how mazda is attack themselves and israel on october 7th, last year. the killed 1200 is released. please be seated. the case will be decided by a 15 member panel. decisions are based on a majority vote with a leading judge holding the decisive vote in case of a tie. despite calls for a swift hearing, the case has already been delayed by a week of final rolling on the agenda side,

allegations could take months or years and has a legal experts say a decision by the court on whether to announce the immediate measures might come soon. as south africa hopes it will call on israel to stop, it's more on the gossip axis i moved out to 0. south africa's case is an unprecedented one, but the ones highest legal body has been advocating international disputes for 7080 is alex bed takes a closer look at the role of the i. c. j has played the international close of justice or i c. j as being the united nations main judicial body since 1946. its main role is handling disputes between countries, most individuals, and its decisions a legally binding. but it's also office legal advice to the united nations. despite being dumped the wills court, the i. c. j's role is more limited than the name suggests, it can only result disputes of the countries involved have recognized its

jurisdiction. the court has 15 judges elected by the un general assembly and the security council. it's lead by us judge john donahue, a former state department official, and so typically is russian judge curio give organ, former invested as of the naval lens. they all represent different regions and legal systems, and it looks like this 3 seats occupied by african judges. judges from s in america and the caribbean, hold another to 3 occupied by asian judges, 5 held by judges from western europe and other wasting countries and to buy judges from eastern europe. if a country involved in a case doesn't have a judge from its region on the beach, it can, it points it temporary one to that case. according to the union shots that the judges perform the duties individually, not as representatives of the hunk country and its history, the court has seen $193.00 cases, including disputes or the land and maritime borders and genocide. one significant

case was between the cut aguayo and the united states. in 1986 when the icj i rolled that the us had violated international law by supporting rebels in nicaragua . but the us ignored the ruling and blocked enforcement action. another major case was in 1993 when bosnia and herzegovina sued serbia, and montenegro for genocide. the defendants were found not directly responsible. alex bid, which is 0. and these a lot of pictures now from the south african city of cape town, over valley, in cape town, a head of the countries justice minister presenting the south african case at the international court of justice in a little under 2 hours that will begin south africa has seen on going rallies against israel's war on gaza on october, the 7th is government recalled and best suited to israel off to october 7th,

over the military operation in gaza. and we had joined now by kenneth ross in geneva. he is a former executive director of human rights watch for my assistant united states attorney. mr. ross, a real pleasure to have you on alger 0. thank you very much for your time. how do you assess the south african case against as well as well? if you look at the 84 page application, this was a very factually detailed, professionally prostate case. and what this case is about, i mean, as the introductory comments mentioned, from genocide is not simply about showing a lot of people that's sort of the common phrase. but in fact, the genocide convention which defines the climb on his to key on this one, he is indeed, you know, are you showing how many people are you? i'm imposing conditions of life designed to destroy the group in whole or in part.

and the application describes is really contacting java that you know, fairly to be found to add up to those kinds of predicate acts. but the key decision, the court is going to face is, is, is we all doing this with the requisite intent? genocidal intent means the intention to eradicate in a whole or in part a national ethnic, racial and religious group as such. and you know, as the introductory comments made clear, there have been comments by senior officials. so, you know, including prime minister benjamin netanyahu, including the defense minister, got a lot which, you know, are genocide on chart. but then there of course are many other statements by this way. we defend sports officials to say, oh no, no, we're just trying to target from us not civilians. and so the court is going to have to parse through that was conducted contradictory statements. they're gonna have to look at the options on the ground. now to see, you know, this is cute when you add up to genocide 110,

and the 1st lawyer to when requests at the i c. j. 4 provisional protection that was on behalf of bosnia and herzegovina in the early ninety's. he said that south africa will win this case. do you agree? i think it's a very strong case. it's important to note though that's what's happening today is not a decision about the final case. so the decision is not going to be easy. israel committing genocide rather today it's an application for so called provisional metrics and basically a preliminary injunction to stop the acts of genocide. and so this does not require a finding of genocide or prior simply of finding that there's sufficient concern magenta's. i might be being committed that the court and order israel to stop these and that's what this case is about. and mr rossi also said, you've said that is there any government must feel that it has a weak case when it responds to south africa is carefully crafted, factually detailed, genocide, challenges would resort to you said the tide, preventing your accusation of blood live, which is an anti symmetric accusation when it's not true,

but do you think that the hearing will be said the lead judge john donahue is a former us state department official. just how much power does she have to shape the proceedings? and so i think we're going to see, you know, all of the 15 permanent judges as well as the 2 temporary judges assigned by israel in south africa. we're going to see them again, are really probing the case. these are independent people. they don't represent their government, so they're going to be challenging both sides now. you know, i, i would hope that these really government bessengers resorts to, you know, rhetoric before the court. i mean, if it just comes in and says, oh, this is anti semitic, this is a blog libel. it'll losing 2 seconds. i expect probably what it's going to say is, you know, we're only trying to target from us from us is using human shields. but what it's gonna have to answer for as well, you know, even if from us using some materials, you israel still have a duty not to fire at those targets, do you have harm will be just for disability? you can't use a 2000 pound bombs in the job,

believe it records you can produce double civilian. so it's gonna have to answer those kinds of questions. and, and mr. ross, you know, when the i c. j. again, when the icj i ruled in favor of provision or protection for bosnia and herzegovina, and 1993 the us and they so imposed a no slides aren't soon after that. but we know that the, even if the i c j was in favor of south africa, it may not be enough to stop the world because of the rulings from the court haven't always had an impact. i want to look at one significant case that was between nicaragua and the united states in 1986, the icy j will, will that the us had violated international by supporting rebels in nicaragua. the washington ignore the ruling unblocked it's enforcements. and mr. ross, are you hopeful that any ruling at the i c j, even if it's not respected by israel said it will be enforced by the other members who are policy to the convention on the prevention of genocide?

i mean, as you know, the court is the court. you know, it doesn't have an army attempt and forces judgments on its own. it needs the un security council to enforce his judgments, and they are the us, the exercises be to where to protect israel as it's done so many times before. but if there actually is a finding that com, you know, provisional measures are necessary to prevent acts of genocide, that's can be a very strong finding. it will make it much more difficult for other governments to provide a military aid or arms to israel. you will be a real stigma is here is real estate, you know, built after janice, i built after the whole economy to try to protect the jews. it is and found at least the problem in early to be committing genocide. you know, that's an enormous stigma. and i think it has real behavioral consequences that hopefully would help to save palestinian civilian lives in cost. mr. ross, thank you very much for sharing your experience and your expertise on the subject. we really appreciate that. that is kenneth ross. joining us live from geneva,

i think let's go to our correspondence on the ground following the story for us we will get is randy reaction from stephanie deca. she's live and occupied east jerusalem. the 1st let's go to hunting macklin with he's live for us in at alpha in southern gaza and honey, how to people their feet about the case of the hate. do they have any hope that it will stop the violence against them as well? so far a great deal of anticipation on some boards for the i c j on the case led by south africa across the palestinian territory, particularly here in the gaza strip. that despite the knowing a broadly that the uh, the, the decision that the i, the, it can make some binding decisions. but it still lacks the power and deals for the to enforce them. knowing that the, some of the actions required will end up on the table of the un security council. whether it's

a possibility of the us that going to be through that. but the fact that it's happening is historic for palestinian to bring these really to that a these very to government or do the international court of justice and to question them and do like a point, the finger at them that they have committed a crime is a war crimes in the goal is to have, as they were conducting or still conducting this genocide of work across the god for it. so far a great deal of the right to group 0. not so good. so across the gaza strip, the looking at some of these hearings are provisional and measures that are going to stop for its conditions in gaza for more sitting. but at the same time, looking at an immediate action which is due to seize the killing of palestinian as requested by, by the leading country in the south africa killing. that's very much continuing, having real concerns with the situation around the locks, a whole special where it's,

it's sounds like it's becoming even more desperate. the yes, well that the things are things on the ground. so just that is really still continuing the, the, the, the killing, the come, you know, the meaning of civilian and the destruction, obliteration of civic institutions across the cause of 3 been again, it's not only happening if it happens across over in the other reservation, as most people refer to it as rest so far as successfully and effectively created 2 reservation. one is the gods for the other. one is the west bank with ongoing. the policies that just make life is incredibly impossible for people to continue on to suspend their lives. but the fact that it is happening and continuing the, the destruction of those they've re means of live the, the ongoing killing and displacement. force displacement is an indication that there is no lit up in any of the actions these where the government is committing

honey. thank you very much for that honey. my hope was that the nations live in rough. uh and it's cost live now, says stephanie deck, as she was and occupied east jerusalem. and israel obviously denying the allegations but taking them seriously. nonetheless, stephanie taking them very seriously. uh it is spinning the headlines in the papers here today. um, also last week there were reports and these really media of internal memos sent to all these really embassies urging their investors to communicate with those countries to get support and rejection to these charges at the i c j and saying that they should really be increasingly talk about how soon they can improve getting to monitor in age into gotcha. you heard from your guess there, even though the court it is legally binding, but it doesn't have the enforcement capabilities. but if it does find it, particularly these preliminary measures that israel is guilty of committing or

having the intent to commit genocide, this could have huge diplomatic and political implications. a massive stigma on the country that was set up in you know, the, all to most of the holocaust that's the term genocide was cleaned in the optimal, the 2nd world war. this entire convention comes up in the optimal. does that to make sure that those atrocities what would happen again, israel is going to be very key to show. we're going to hear from them tomorrow on friday. they're going to show from what we understand a video imagery of the how mass attack on october. the 7th, they want to remind the world of the horrific nature of the attack that this is self defense. we heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu last night to statement in english. not last that the timing of that is no coincidence saying that israel has no intention to occupied because it has no intention to force to be displaced. it's people that it's doing is of utmost to protect civilians. what's of

africa is going to lay out today. it is a, it's a very detailed report worth shows, interest specific incidents, and it goes back before october, the 7th. what it lays out is that this is endemic of a system of occupation that has been going on for decades. it quotes extensively from un report staging back decades, but it also talks about the westbound feel to fight west buying, saying how much is not in control there. but you have a jewel system, a jewel legal system. you have a jewel system of rhodes. you have a separation barrier or pointing to an a party system. so as mentioned so many of these examples, and particularly most of the rhetoric coming out of the highest echelons of is really government to the president of the prime minister of its finance minister. national security minister is military leadership that is in charge of the occupied territories. the language that they use, the humanizing depositing is quoting to the a 9 nation for the burning of the goal is the strip according the, you know, animals and they'll be treated as starts to cut off,

which are one of these things laid out in detail in this report, so we're going to have to wait and see it could take a couple of weeks, but legal experts do predict a swift decision by the court on these preliminary metro. stephanie, thank you very much for that. stephanie deca live unoccupied, east jerusalem and crowns and drama have riley to fax south africans from supporting palestinians during the war without been how many it has more funds on my la or among the crowd. the people were quite satisfied and there was a certain degree of, i would say relief in the sense that many told us was finally as someone is speaking, you know, name and hoping that really to move of south africa. that $84.00 page filing in which south africa describes what it considers as acts of genocide you'll

need to do with the palestinians of would be taken into consideration. and maybe we'll reverberate along mall countries around the world because the policy needs have been extremely frustrated by the new world reaction of maybe we'll leaders when it comes to the applied no, only now during this guy's a war, but for the past decades, you know, the situation here, the okay, bided was back. this continues, land grab the expansion of settlement. how's the pollution is that they have been in jury on a daily basis. and then there was a 2nd message, which i think was probably the most important one in the short term, which is hoping that that move would put pressure on an international level to bring a ceasefire. every person we spoke to that was listening or every person that was on, on the podium talking was what could be the same message as these fire needs to come

immediately. and humanitarian aid needs to go in, in much bigger numbers because the needs of the file is sydney is in gaza. absolutely it norm as many with just telling me, no, it's not just about the ceasefire. people will continue to die because of these, these people will continue to die because they're sleeping and the cold of people will continue to die because of many things. so certainly that was the main message . it is rarely forces intensified the air strikes on southern gaza early on thursday morning. please. 7 palestinians are killed in 25 inches when israel bombed a residential building and con you this many of the casualties for children. the injured have been taken from the also hospital. well, the 40 people were killed on wednesday and a strike on a residential building near the ox, the hospital correspondents, and also that he has moved from the line to warning the was may find some of the images and have a port disturbing. this is

a building in front of the entrance of ok saw hospitalized. as you see, this is one of the main gate for up to hospice and and a lot of people are seeking refuge here. and here, as you see, the ambulances of the ministry of house have been severely damaged from the air strikes. here is the hospital this, this, this at the streets is a very busy street where people of our walking 24 and 7 back and forth through the hospitalized. and, and not only the people's parts. there are cars here. i remember that every single day we used to part our, our, our car over here in this street. as you see, all of the markets in here are damaged here,

where people normally send food and people who normally buy stuff. there's a very heartbreaking story. you were a philosopher guy who said laughing has been accepted by a sharpening and he was killed by your unfortunate to be on the wall. we also see his blood on the philosopher's ingredients. dozens of injuries are now in just a lock, so hospitable, where the hospital is working on a very low capacity. and the doctors are trying to help as much people as possible as we tried to talk to the policy municipal house and ask them about the injuries. and the killings. they said that they couldn't even come some because i'm going to not stop transferring the injuries. and the killings from this era strikes,

this is in the put that before i did it, but i had up to the hospital casa, the world health organization has canceled emission to northern garza, the 6th time it's done. so in 2 weeks, the chief of the w h o says it was cold off because it's relevant, checked to their requests, and safe passage couldn't be assured, he urged as well to allow them to enter and deliver humanitarian age. delivering you money to then have the guys that continues to face nearly inside amount of training, just as intense bombardment, restrictions on movement, fuel shortage, uninterrupted communications. make it impossible for w, jo and our partners to reach those in need. we have the supplies, the teams and the plans in place. what we don't have easy access. and the main it is

a consult with surgeon who regularly visit scott. uh he was performing surgeries at all, likes the hospital until his team was held to leave last friday. he told us about the increasing switch facing health care workers in gaza. we sold the beginnings of the dismantled bunch of i likes the hospital last week my last day operating and i like it was friday. and having spend all day operating on a lost a trauma victim, i came out to the operating today to, to hear that that'd be the missed all attack on the intensive k unit that loved to time. so we were already seeing stuff leaving, and progressively moles stall blacked off to that the is right. it defense vols co got told us that it was no longer safe for any

foreign doctors to go that because of that active it is. so our team and m s f were forced to leave the hospital. and what else is happening now is very much what we fit that uh the attacks would be getting close and the majority of stuff, how not have now let. so i think it's look a stream the likely that i like so it will become complete disabled as a, as a health care facility has had a full source of conduct to the more waves and the occupied westbank as the sounds of explosions were heard. and jeanine were residents of a filter to have attacked military vehicles, lay advised by the forces that the confrontation, some kind of kenya and a zone 10 palestinians were arrested across the occupied westbank. jordan's king abdullah, any gibson president at the south a l. c. so you have agreed to increase pressure on israel in an attempt to push an end to its gauze or offensive. the to lead has met the palestinian president,

monkwood the boss and the jordanian city of arkansas. they said they rejected as rarely plans to separate gauze from the occupied westbank stressing that the 2 territories of the cool of a future palace to the instate. the still ahead on knowledge of us soldiers on the streets of poplar. and you're guineas capital off to 15. people are killed in protest. the musicians in august the origin tina appears the new president of not being in tune with the industry. yes, he's freshman's to take away the probably the term, which is what he's been out likely now across the good parts of the year. we've got so should we say less colder in the nose, but we'll call that towards the south. and that's because we have high pressure as

just squeezing. it's influenced a little further south with as we go on through the next couple of days as a blocking of the system, it will take visa, what the system is asking to atlantic at baby. we have got some weather coming in across the state in port school. some found right here, some snow over the high ground for the parent needs the storms rumbling away across the mediterranean and saw the north side. you see we do have some snow just around that. western side of russia coming down into cray minus one of the sales is a must go. so that's for me that it has been tons a good deal coded by the time you do come to friday. having said that, a lot of drive by the very across, know the positive here, down towards the sound, little a single figure struggling to get into the double figures, to madrid for rogue, as athens showers the right across the bed. it's radius and looking very on several here in the coming days. then a bit of onset of weather to coming out of that same system, brushing the fondles valgy area and northern areas option is yeah, was at malta. and a similar picture as we go on through friday,

elsewhere across those to africa. it is dry all the way into the gulf of guinea. it's of dispute. the 72 muslims were massacred in the village of indiana india in 1987. witnesses say the perpetrators or a mob of locals along side the state governments provincial on constabulary personnel. over 30 years later, a district court acquitted the accused to date, no one has been as accountable. people in power asks why the victims continue to be denied justice. india is forgotten. massacre on

a jersey to the the what challenges the put on them. and uh huh. i have a mind to about 12 stories. the salad, the international court of justice, will hear arguments on whether israel is committing genocide and gaza. the case has been both by south africa as well as expected to offer a defense on friday. as rarely forces have intensified as strikes on southern gaza, at least 7 people were killed and 25 injured when

a presidential building was formed in con eunice early on to the same morning. many of the casualties for children and his writing forces have a rest of 10 people in rates and they occupied with explosions for holding jeanine when military vehicles of a filter to come on of attach that to our top story. and as well as a choose the genocide at the international court of justice, south africa is urging vigilance top close to order provisional measures to protect civilians. but as hush them who bought our reports the case could take is that tough legal battles for ease, way of the international court of justice. these lawyers are attempting to dismiss south african plains, tennessee is committing genocide against the by the city is saying it's, but it's res, instead of continued self defense. but the root cabinet of his ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu, is feeling the pressure and the international cause for an immediate and to be as

well as bombardment of gaza. on the rise. the state of israel will appear before the international court of justice at the hague. to dispel south africa is absurd. blood libel, south africa is, is vials biggest trading partner on the african continent. but it's a governing ponti, the african national congress. a and c continues to criticize as well as occupational policy and territory in november, south africa recalled it's diplomats from as well. and has since become it's still just critic. we think that the easiest way to explore the case of genocide unfolding. we think that the number of people being killed, particularly children. it has a significant level of gravity to it. and that in, in line with ours and he does those responsibilities as signatories to the genocide convention, we have a duty to prevent

a punish genocide. south african lawyers believe they have a strong case of the ones high school. they say he's well is either committing jealous sides or failing to prevented the case may drag on for months or years. it will be asked you to investigate the crime of genocide. it's not going to come up with criminal consequences. it's going to come up with consequences such as reparations apologies the sorts of things you would expect in a civil case. although criminal prosecutions, i'm not expected. soft off because lawyer is hopefully i c. j with act quickly because of extreme and urgent lie to fight has been using gaza an old days. well, just stop for allowing a so it's an older cavities weight of the un. and the hope that we create more

pressure among the international community to force is when into ending it's moved to the campaign of to move the 3 months of relentless bombardment on small to many people say they've lost the faith international institutions of many countries are supporting south africa and he's hoping this legal case could succeed. what politicians have so far failed pressure of a legit 0. well, many a hopefully the ruling in south africa's favor could and the un security council is deadlock on gaza, particularly it's inability to core for a says fine on diplomatic editor james base reports from new york. the piece published in the dutch city of the hague. home of the international court of justice. it's the only major oregon of united nations, which is not based in new york, but what happens in the cold in the coming days is being keenly watched here on the

other side of the atlantic at un headquarters. i already the ambassador of israel, whose diplomats have been activity low being other un members, has angrily denounced the case in a speech in the un general assembly. perhaps an indication of how word his country is in south africa's basements and libelous cases. a d i g i c j. prove this exactly. how can it be remembered that the convention on the prevention of genocide adopted following the hollow clothes, the general side of the jewish people is now being weaponized against the jew estate. delores normally supposed to be above politics, but when it comes to international law, things get more complicated candidates to be judges at the international court of justice, nominated by their own countries, which then campaign for them and lots of inherently political process. the elections held every year or off in the drawing out procedure as they happen

singleton easily. and the general assembly and the security council to publish the new non baset or to the un has told me he believes the case before the court now is being given extra weight because it's being pulled by south africa, the country that suffered so much in the past under contract rule, nobody would question that the company like south africa, which defeated apartheid that it is not on the top of the mountain of uh, of, of morality and respect for human rights and the rights of people in general. so we are grateful to them here at the you and there's some hope the case could potentially break the deadlock on the un security council over the past 3 months. they've been repeated efforts to pos, a resolution calling for a ceasefire and gaza. but on 3 occasions, one country the us as used it's vito to block subtraction. so if the international court of justice were to decide to order provisional measures to stop israel's
