lakes and restoration. this country is a place to slow down and enjoy the simple things coming to discover the natural historical and cultural beauties. the the hello until mccrae. this is the news on the line from coming up in the next 16 minutes. the international court of justice is around an hour away from express ruling and with it as well must ends. it's more on guns, a protest as a matching to the i c j with a white to here. if the judges were one of the protection of kill us to indians in the strict office as the killing carries on within

$26000.00 palestinians have now been killed in relentless is riley attacks and the hands of the us israel and the egypt intelligence agencies are expected to attend katara live negotiations in the as we begin with the international court of justice in the higher that's expected to hand down the ruling in about an hour's time. it's part of the case bro. bye south africa accusing is ryan with committing genocide and gone to the united nations top cause will decide on with the to order as well to restrain it's offensive in gaza, south africa, and as well testified when the kaiser opens 2 weeks ago, a rolling on with the israel is committing genocide and the strip is likely to take some years. i'll south africa is a long supporter of the palestinian cause and has asked

b i c j to impose 9 orders on this row. these rarely miller trees, ongoing offensive, has killed more than 26000 palestinians enclosed a few minutes. harry and catastrophe. israel has defended as full by cooling as an active self defense off to the mazda attack on southern this route. on october, the 7th, we all have st. joe's rolling is binding without the appeal that the israeli government believes the ice age. i will reject the case completely while ahead of the rolling. here's what is roland. him boss, had to say. we have expected, of course, to throw out the completely upside and ridiculous charges pressed by south africa. we expect the i c j to throw out these spurious suspicious judges. while i had a foot in canada and america, i'm at the field a high 1st. if the court in the hague is use of route into a c spy, i'm us move, it will abide by the c flat as long as the enemy bonds by it. second, some us will release his honest prisoners detained bias. if the occupying state

routes is all the palestinian christmas detained by it as well, we have out teams covering every side of the story from gallons it to the occupied territories. israel, south africa, and the international court of justice and the height. we start without diplomatic . it is a james base who is asked the course and james less than an hour to go. now, can you explain how this is actually going to work? would it be a statement from the i c j, and can you just to cut through the varying potential outcomes that we could hear? what we think is going to happen is that the judges will come into the cold and the presiding judge will that and read out the statement of what they have decided. now let's just be clear, this case is not finished. it's under the genocide convention of south africa existing the treat to that convention as israel. so the basic case is that south africa as a signatories saying that is rather broken the convention. and that is what they are trying to account. far more important than that. i think for the people of

gauze are, is what happens today because it will be an interim decision on south africa exhaust for several things. from the courts. several things that could come out as provisional measures as provisional orders from this course. the most important to the south africa as asking for a major section of the volumes at hand to his rouse bombardment of garza. so that could have a really big effect on the people of golf course. that is what the court orders and of course has already. big gifts. israel was to comply with such an older and will i think we'll hear that in, in, in the next hour because the cool decision could go the other way they could take is ro, side. israel says that doing nothing wrong. it's just self defense. what they're doing in garza, and then there's also the raw, the gray area that we could step into of the cold taking account of some of the

things that south africa is requesting. but also in this thing to israel and coming up with some sort of middle ground where they accept some of south africa's request, but not all of them. and so i think that's going to be why it's gonna be very important to listen to the very detailed legal announcement when it comes out. and our understanding is that will come out in just a now is time in the building behind me, the international court of justice sits in the, his historic building in the thought, charles city of the hedge, and johnson, if this decision goes against as well. the ramifications here are going to be felt far beyond the visuals. yeah, absolutely. um, this is a legal ruling and it might be quite quite complicated and intense legal language. but beyond this, it then becomes a lexical. it then becomes diplomatic. then i think also it becomes moral in terms of israel and both israel has been doing if of course, the so it's

a really against is rather with fact israel sending in the world, it will affect, i think the international community is view all the full right to eat most of the nations of the united nations, the 193 member states that sits in the general assembly. we know where they stand and they stand most of them against israel is ongoing bombardment and would like to see a c spot right now. and the un security council is more complicated because they've been efforts that to get a seesaw. but on 3 occasions, one permanent member of the security council alone has blocked that using it to beat type ha, that permanent member, of course, is the united states. if this goes the way of south africa against israel, that's still a big if we'll find out in and now it's time, then that's a real problem. i think for the bite and administration, a real dilemma do they continue to support? israel will save up to the if there's another, another case of this coming to the security council,

another resolution before the security council. and i think that is highly likely that that would happen if you go to finding the went for south africa against is routes that what the, by the administration do, what do you use? is vito for a full time? because not only would you be to be telling of the un security council, you'd also be be towing in defiance of this call, which is a top cost in the u. n. system. i don't remember all of the things that president biden to set in the cost of the rules based international load up, particularly with regard to you, cried he would be defying the real well the rulings of the top body in not in task system. and d, thanks so much 10. so we will not be talking to you right throughout the next few hours. i am sure which ends buys for us there. at the high most of austin is with palestinian support. is that a matching to the hague right now? and this whole process has to huge amounts of attention from around the world. can you just explain what the mood is like the among support is

the franchise? so it's a small change from the san jose to the, to the international criminal court. the they have a big fan or they have with all the names of the statements, victor chang, to hear what the, of course, the, please an international because of the international courses that are here. but oh, i know on the international criminal court i'm, i'm here the, i'm here now with the move potash and he is one of the process. it's a big day for you as well. i just, it's a very, very special that very big day because it's for the 1st time we, as part of cnn, we see that the, sorry, it is a broad to the core. everything the kinds of this. so i told the west to

try it has to give on. so it's about the genocide, the method, both sides. now we see that the community find the conduction again so, so that's as i find that is not above the below the mystic argue that the court will rule in favor of south africa. and in house, these rulings on israel to stop the mar 3 operations. actually, i think the bit of domestic about the sense that uh, we had the very bad the experience with us and this alone or the community. well, for today, i think it should be a good, so i'm hoping for the best because well that's good as was the by itself or does the country which makes oh the same thing as far as going for the. 8 but the scores were work only with the facts of the fact size, but not too long. they will see it's very clear, the side on the stove is

a very optimistic mode here. i think that's what the again so that if we got into staples, it's around the disposal was i then here's the way that the response of the ruling is. again, actually i things like that more so will be very high like the be will be i agree because i think the and they'll be like the bill. they will feel like the whole humanity that felt them because this, this score is the last to we have and the community. we lost the whole very likes of the time ago. but now we got the hope again with this because we hope that we don't lose that forever. so that are supposed to be that we was the, the meaning of the humanity of events and are slow events that are so communities oh, everything about the quality of everyone on the human rights. so i hope that that

will not be, i guess, the size of predictors. i hope it will be in the favor of the right, the favor of the humanity, which is the favor. it was the policy now. thank you so much for joining us. when we have to quickly catch up with the protest was we're marching toward the international court of justice and hope to hear that's rolling and the next hour or so. okay, thanks so much. stipulate you guys to invest in the uh, matching to the hike. okay, well let's go to south africa. now we have somebody to millet and standing by in johannesburg in to, for me to what. uh, so that for cuz expectations here as well. the south african governments has it ahead of this routing by the i c j. that irrespective of what the outcome is that a south africa has brought to the spotlight, the light of the palestinians, the great suffering of the home that's being close to them. and that for that reason they've schooled a major victory full of palestinians and humanity. and that's what that is because

international relations, mendecy finality, pando has elaborated on that saying that aside from seeking the ceasefire, which is very important, what is also vile, a vital is highlighting the plight of palestinians. and as i said, the home that's been close to them and also the lack of justice and freedom, and it's likely that these arguments. but before the i, c j has brought that to the well stage, because she says for far too long their plight has been ignored. one of the other outcomes that piece of african government is expecting is that global institutions maybe helped to scrutiny in that these institutions that are designed to protect the innocent people around the world will have to do their jobs. and that's in the us and people around the world are protected and that's it. who forced these institutions to do their jobs. and also potentially the final read to find what genocide is exactly and hold accountable people,

countries that are responsible for genocide and war crimes. but the south african government appears to be quite confident around the outcomes expected and just under an hour. so electric has received a lot of criticism, mostly from allies of israel, like the united states, the u. k as well. and so that's because is that today's judgement would be a response to the criticism that their case is unfounded, or without merit. as for some of the content ation, they receive for what they say is fighting for justice and humanity. as you decide to spend a lot of criticism, again, south africa, can you just give a little bit of context around why? so that feel so determined about bringing this case to the i c j in the 1st place with the it's the so that free conduct. so that's what can government or general south africans. they say that so that freak is bound to its obligation to the

genocide convention. not only because there are a cigna tree, but also because of so that because own a part dates history. and that's where the to a part that comes from in terms of a group of people in south africa previously subjugated, oppressed and not having the same rights as the, the sort of the governing all the ruling entity in whichever country they say it's because of the south african struggle that they can identify with palestinians. this is why the palestinian struggle their fights with justice and freedom resonates with south africans. so the south africans have said that it gives their duty and this is, it goes beyond the palestinian struggle, but it's also a fight for humanity is specifically when the people have been prevented from speaking out and prevented from fighting full that justice themselves. thanks so much for all this for me to middle for us and show him his big what we're going to keep moving along now to hold on just to meet, who is in, tell us a for us. and as we have to do this thing for this case has been loud and clear

from the israeli government. we hearing anything from officials, the hit of today's decision. well we did hear from the spokesperson of prime minister benjamin antonio yesterday saying that the court to just throw out this case all together. we heard goals over the past 2 weeks, for example, from the foreign minister, who called this whole case as the biggest show of hypocrisy in history. and since they have been efforts to undermine south africa, according south africa, the legal arms of how miles or alleging that south african bank, or financing have laws, but privately is really officials all where a so they do that uh the uh, the provisional measure of calling uh for a ceasefire. oh and so is really choose to pull out of gas. i will not be adopted,

but they do fill out the quote. good cool. for example, on the free flow of humanitarian aid into gaza, like food, water, electricity, fuel, or adults also cool on other enduring measures to be adopted. i think it israel, in all cases it, there is an acknowledgment that whatever the outcome this whole case is a stain on. israel's also because is role is very much aware of the high number of casualties according to the military itself. at least 60 percent of the casualties in the gaza are a civilian. so that's a very large number even though if it's not the 25000 that helps the officials and guys that are saying is, well at least admit that at least a 2000. so far as the videos have been killed and it knows that it's really very

difficult to defend its position on that one. even though it continues to say it's the default of how much. but that puts a stain on israel's play that has been going on for decades, not only during this war the, israel's army is the most a moral military in the world. so there is an acknowledgement that whatever the outcome is a loss and it is a stain on israel. now it is hoping that this case would be 0 now, but i've been privately. the officials here do expect that they will be sub provisional measures called up on. okay, thank you so much how that we will. uh, definitely check back in with you after there was a decision for the needs of there and timothy to give a child straight. so it isn't from allah in the occupied westbank and tells me it must be a huge expectations there as well in the occupied westbank. well, i, it's important to put this in context. certainly historically,

just to give you some idea of where we all, where the municipal said to here in ramallah, we're expecting human rights lawyers active is a palestinian sovereignty. officials, some even members of the diplomatic community to come in and watch the verdict to live on the screen. you can see behind me, in terms of expectation, certainly amongst people here in the occupied westbank. there is a great sense of, of, of skepticism because of course, for decades they have been repeatedly lights down by the, the, the un 5 members of the international community, dozens of resolutions at the u. n. over the use of being vetoed by america. and of course, this comes at a time where we've seen an increase in, in violence by the is really all me, for example, the daily rage, right, the way across the occupied westbank. bolden, $6000.00 palestinians detained since october,

the 7th. hundreds of palestinians killed as well. a lot of secular violence as well against palestinian farmers, palestinian communities, villages, towns in the palestinian territory. so when you speak to people here about what they expect from these quotes, no matter what the verdict is, there is very little faith, very little trust that it will really change their lives as much as a tool. but it's still, it's gonna be very interesting to speak to. we hope this is a member of the diplomatic community, academics and hopefully palestinian officials no matter what disability to get their reaction here in the next couple of hours. okay, thanks so much. charles charles rep for us the in from a ok, let's take you to guys and now we're at least $193.00 palestinians have been killed and is rarely a tax. and just the past day, and that is taking the desk told the owns 26000 michael f. o reports

by the lights of the cellphones rescue work is dig through the debris of a residential building and the l as a way to central gaza is really strikes of the night and into friday morning. what's the target to all new site accurately g can killing several parents. they me one of the victims. yeah, they'll that i'll walk a june. he needs young son were killed in the family home was born. those wounded in countless other attacks stream into a lock. so hosted our house was bombarded, says this john they bombed the house and everything fell on all heads. screens another the world health organization reports only 14 of garza, city 6 hospitals are functioning and only portion in some

cases, doctors can do nothing but watch. unable to help people . it's happening right in front of the eyes. this child has been killed and nobody can do anything. don't even the doctors can do anything for him in the, in hon units in the south of the script. thousands of palestinians are preparing to leave for on the wasi. waste of the city is rarely occupation. planes dropped the flick, saying that we must evacuate the area and go to the necessary medical complex via bar street. so everyone left, but there were violent confrontations. there the situation is extremely difficult. we're calling on red cross to come and escort people to the safe passage. israel wants us to use these families who have already lost so much on are forced to flee yet again,

this time towards the coast with no guarantee that they'll be any sights of it. mike level will do 0. well, honey must move, joins us from profit and southern gaza now and to as we saw the of the her continues on the ground. i think it makes you able to focus on the events uh at the hague today. go so far. there is the great deal of anticipation is shrouded. uh, uh would they, they would cautious optimism just giving the past experiences of the palestinians whether they are in the 16 years ago that's been under a blockade. and none of the un international bodies has done anything to reduce the suffering and to ease the hardship on palestinian. but since the uh, the hearing sessions about 2 weeks ago that people voice there is this sort of, uh, they, again, a cautious optimism about

a decision that will at least respond to add one of their major priorities right now, which is an in do this ongoing mass going of, of their own people, the killing of, of, of children and this year, destruction that is caused to the entire gall, this trip, the destruction of public facilities, particularly health care facilities across the goals. and that's one thing that people are focusing on right now. and in the one the decision that can come out and it will be binding to these really government and it's military duty and all hostilities and a foot and so station till a the ongoing, a bombings across the gaza strip. now this is quite important to find out that despite the, the total of black out here and the inability of people to get access to information about what's going on in to keegan. what to expect from. 2 the international court do still have little bit of hope that again,

this will be at least the voice thing there it concerns and express their demand. so the international community, but the, the know the mac and his m d d a v i c, j can have a binding decision. but do you know the have little authority to and force them knowing that it's all going to be at the un security council in which the israel biggest supporters is likely to do that and put an end to all these international efforts to stop the ongoing killing maiming destruction, the deprivation of people from their basic rights, the access to food supplies, water, and medical supplies. it's just one thing that unify people here. it's an end to this ongoing misery and say thank you so much for a little bit this honey. mark me for us and rafa and southern gaza pulling the roughly 2 weeks since public hearings on israel's will opens at the peace palace

and the high exist told him, garza has kept on rising on january the 10th the day before the hearings began. as well. have kills for the 3357 palestinians of a 96 dies. on january, the 11th and 12th is ready for the bottom and killed a number of 351 palestinians. taking the death told 223708 and the 2 weeks following the start. all of the hearings be is ready on a, kimberly 2 and a half 1000 palestinians that broke the total number of debts 26083, with more than 64000 people wounded. well, i'll just say we're senior political analyst. oh, and the shower is with us now in my when we heard from or a correspondence right around the region. but can you just put it into context? how important the decision that we're expecting and just sort of a half an hour, how important is, or the spot amount that's terribly important. it's probably the most important decision in recent times on the question of is there, i thought a sign

a case since 2004, when the court ruled about is arouse right for no rights for self defense and occupied territory. but this one would have far reaching consequences not 24 days, right, palestine, but i think for the so called international law or international rules based order or western nations or western powers, a capacity to adhere to international law or not. so i think it's going to have far reaching consequences, especially those are the best time regardless of whether it's going to be forced to implement it. as we know is there are probably, especially if it's a guest, a, it's my, well, i refuse to implement any, any of the, of the provisional orders. now, it also depends. it's also, it does not depend on it. i must say was that it was one way or another and i think

it would have far reaching consequences regardless of what that which i guess. i mean if its rules uh for say spot in israel doesn't abide by the ruling. can the us continue to stand by is right, well, does it just put far too much pressure on joe biden and congress to actually continuous support as well? i think congress probably will not make much decision in terms of the executive policy of the united states that would probably follow up on the, by the presidency and its coverage and its principal in an election year. he might not, in fact carry if he might continue to appeal to his right to reduce the number of casualties on the like. so please, i'll go ahead before but it's also depends on the way the i c, j formulates it's decision. there's a good number of ways, of course for benefits, right. i think most importantly it will probably be one on 2,

but i'm going to discount the $11.00 die suggest say forget about it. this is, there is no genocide, dad, whatever they can send to you, my vision, you know, resolve them. so i, i, i discount that, but there's a, there's a real hard r unraveling in plain sight. so why don't holding, let's quoted, the dues, right? the must me what you say. there is clear evidence that some form of a genocide is taking place and hence is right. it must a ceasefire. it is, i must allow for humanitarian aid as i must keep the records of each decision making during the war as also a lot of most a lot of news. on the other hand, it could also say this is really a terrible situation. we recommend that as i do not, right? do not. i do not put obstacles in front of the humanitarian aid.

getting in. that is that does not commit acts that are in control venture into the genocide convention. which means it's not necessarily doing so. but it's just should not do so in the future, right? so the allotted would probably be seen as favorable days, or even though it adopt some of the measures. yeah. or the spirit of the measures. but if it does take the 1st one that must stop, the fire must out for you, right? that a i think that would be a slap of the face not pointed to is the right button to it's west to back bellows . where you also know should several times that the decision cannot be appealed, but it also can't really be in full sti that we had from our correspondent in gaza . honey, everyone. the just wondering, no matter what the decision is, kind of being forced to is it you're going to make any difference on the ground? i think it's very important decision and i think it's what it has implications and the ramifications political,

diplomatic implications and strategic ramifications any which way if there is a decision to stop the fire and it does not abide by, it would still have because 1st of all, there is what we call the court, the been the national public opinion. that's going to be key because that's when reinforced and even further swing the openings against is right. and it's west and beckers to i think it's what he put pressure spot thing was here to see and powers and then funk to the american power to start putting pressure news right here, because you cannot have a rolling of this nature just been is up to stop the war under clear evidence that it might be getting genocide and the worst and backers just say this, this just this visit and continue with business.
