6:00 pm
its verdict, it said south africa would not stand by when people were prosecuted. i'm paraphrasing, i hear it would also say that they would stand, they would not waver and it's commitment to the palestinian people. now we've got teams covering the story. every side of the story from gaza to the occupied territories, as well as israel in south africa and the international court of justice and the hague. and we're going to begin with family to mila in johannesburg. as the president there being very confident in his assertion that starts advocate to the right thing by bringing this case a hey you said somebody was and he also brought it down that saying that through that this order by the international court of justice of fund that's so that for go, should have approached that quote, and that's all that africa felt vindicated in terms of that order because it was recognized that these great tom, being close to palestinians that these great suffering
6:01 pm
a large number of lives have been lost and that you mandatory an aide should be provided by the occupying power as well. now the president, so remo plus i had also said, and i think you're speaking to critics and to those doubtful of why south africa was at the international court of justice. mostly allies of israel saying that it is south africa's place to have taken this action because all the frequencies know the pain of disposition, they know the pain of oppression and they know what it is. what a party is. they know what a part that looks like, and this is what palestinians are going to presently. not just this won't garza but decades of oppression and decades of a park date. and the president also said that, so that's really good. and so about this, other for colorado would not stand by would not be a bystander. and witness all of this a pass of leads that he was obliged to ask specifically because it was a signature of the genocide convention, but also because of self africa's own history. of oppression. now,
6:02 pm
some of the other reaction from south africa has said that this is a small step in terms of human kind, but there was concern around exactly how this order by v i. c. j would be implemented. how it would enforce that is well carries out some of these orders. all of these orders, in fact, including the assistance. so you might have to be an 8 and not to cause harm, not to cause fish in the great numbers that it has be. so that we can administer of international relations. now lady bundle had said that she had such a new hopes that would be in order for us ceasefire. but she certainly is not disappointed by the order. because in order to inspect the order, it would require a ceasefire. so by default, this is essentially what should include happen, but at the same time, in terms of the process, this now goes to the united nations security council. they will be formally
6:03 pm
notified and we know that the united states and ally of his ro has a veto power. and so, so that's because said it hopes that this veto power will be used by individual states to prevent as well from standing 5 or having to carry out this order by the international court of justice from it. i thank you very much, is finding another bring us up to date from johannesburg, following that speech by the president settled or i'm opposed that it's not a couple of resumes in the rafa in the southern guys. are you aware so many of the people in guys are having suffering under the continual, bombardments, by the, is very military and the reactions. of course, the actions by the is rarely politicians. how people they're reacting to this willing from the international court of justice. i guess uh, well in fact, uh, the majority of the guards inside of the territory were hearing the routing that had been made by the international court of justice regarding the uh, the through minimizing all the evidence provided by south africa in the
6:04 pm
international court. just regarding the goals of the genesis only being competitive inside cause when people were previously has all kinds of a glimmer of hope that is mixed with frustration regarding the, the routing uh today. right now they have become much more frustrated despite the fact that they were seeing this as a very big development to contribute to show the world about recipes. and the genocide being committed inside the cause of death by the completely are frustrated that international court of justice did not issue a resolution or passed any calling to forward is to israel to stop the military attacks after this call is at least a day to reach cease fire on the ground that might improve times of suffering and hardships that they have been getting services october the 7th, as we have been hearing from residents inside dropbox, they were saying that that was completely worthless in terms of april. yes. again,
6:05 pm
to return back to our destroyed houses in the north and in a different areas in terms of the humanitarian age. they are really getting to the territory in a very, on a different number to the goals into our been evacuating from the houses. and in terms of the genocide to attacks, the are also continuing to cite the territory, especially with the past 24 hours with more than $100.00 h. about a city is being killed and we have been seeing similar numbers on daily phases as a swell is expanding its hard rustic to genocide detection beside them. attacks offers that there are 2 palestinians, appreciate these steps taken by software, so they were completely waiting something better from the international court of justice. regarding this, as far as that might sprinkle slicing on the ground. one of the things that was mentioned quite specifically by the uh, the i c j really was the needs to get more humanitarian aid into guys and just bring this up to date with the situation as it is at the moment. we're also getting
6:06 pm
reports, of course, that there are protest, i believe, of a bias varies about ca, that's going in, i guess i'll tell us what it is. i've been seeing these demonstrations and protests made by as many citizens in carmel, the sound of both the coursing folder, just to prevent the entries hayes h into dollars on till these, where the government puts restore the hostages from inside the territory. i'm. this is also another step with excessive phase of collective punishments of more than 2 point. $3000000.00 is especially reduced. will have been trapped in the news. i did not receive any kind of humanitarian supplies within the past few weeks, but policy is practically all roughly with each state to survive as they are completely suffering from an acute food insecurity. and also with the worst that mates that's actually made by these bodies, ongoing offensive has been people not dying, but also found us citizens are no longer receiving sufficient for much needed
6:07 pm
supplies, that we will help them to keep with the situation. and this is what the united nations had been wanting regarding the since the scope of the 7 college city is offering a very desperate need for face. but despite the un resolution to increase the capacity of the numbers of a humanitarian age in 2000, also kind of funny and did not talk to any kind of touchable development in terms of that resolution. which means that the situation for them day by day is excessive pain. you think it's a very intense array of these very bombardments on detail. it's read that day by day increases the casualties amongst type. thank you very much. indeed. that's kind of cool. boy isn't bring yourself today from a rough i in southern goes. well, just a few hours ago, the international court of justice voted overwhelmingly in favor of 6 provisional measures. let's take a closer look of what's been decided. the court ordered israel to desist from all acts of genocide against the pano standing,
6:08 pm
and people would like to include the killing of palestinians and the causing of serious bodily or mental harm. israel's attacks on garza scales more than 26000 people since the ball began and injured more than 64000. yeah, i see j also role that israel must take steps to ensure its military does not commit acts of genocide measures must also be taken to prevent and punish the incitement of genocide. israel has been ordered to take immediate measures to allow basic services on humanitarian assistance into gaza. at least 1700000 palestinians have been displaced by his ready attacks. and the un says around half of the population is at risk of starvation. because it's also a role that israel must prevent the destruction of any evidence of genocide being committed in gaza. and finally, israel must submit to reports the i c. j that outlines the measures being taken to address these provisional measures. and this must be submitted within the span of a months from the really not diplomatic attitude. james bases live for us from the
6:09 pm
hey. so the court did layout these. the 6 measures that israel needs to be taken over. that needs to be taken within garza, but it didn't address specifically all the requests the south africa had made. i know it was an important ruling and it was quite a detailed rulings. joe, don't know who, who's the presiding judge read out of all of those? what you just said, those orders by the cool, but also her reasoning or the reasoning of a panel of judges. 17 judges involved in this decision. and it's interesting that they basically accepted old arguments that were made by south africa. they accepted the urgency, the severity of the situation. they found that it was possible that was israel was doing well acts that will code by the genocide convention. and they laid out some of the things that israel had said,
6:10 pm
including statements from the president of israel, from the defense minister of israel to the quarter grade was the humanizing language. and specifically, at one of one group being the palestinians, despite tool that they didn't come up with what south africa dos for which was very, very specific measures in terms of the orders in these so called provisional measures. and instead of the code has come up with something a little broad, a saying that israel must take every measure possible to avoid acts that could lead to genocide. now the south africans and the south african ministers that you would have liked them to have the specific, the sanction, all but let me just see, saw, to be put in place. but she felt that the broader thing that the cortez has ordered actually must mean that a sees fall must be put in place. but i have to say no one here is, is thinking that it's very likely that israel will now say, well,
6:11 pm
the court said this, so we're going to have an immediate cease thought. we know the distain that has been shown by is right, the ministers towards the south african case. and we've already heard these ready prime minister probably making it pretty clear that they are not going to cease the bombardment of gauze. but i think it adds to the pressure in the international community, not just on israel, of the moral pressure on israel, but also on those countries that don't currently support and regency scott. and of course the notable ones of those off in europe, the u. k. and germany, but of course the one that it's used it's vito power in the un security council, the block, a c spot, a permanent member of the security council. the most notable one, israel's main back of the united states are diplomatic at a james bay's in the hey james, thank you very much indeed. well, as it was, prime minister has reject as being international court of justice is what are you
6:12 pm
calling out of ages? benjamin netanyahu says is government will continue. it's war on guys. the charge of genocide level against israel is not only false is rages and this and people everywhere should rejected on the eve of the international holocaust. remember it's day ident pledge, as israel's prime minister. never again, israel will continue to defend itself against come us a genocidal terror organization. on october 7th, i must perpetrated the most horrific atrocities against the jewish people since the holocaust. and it vows to repeat these atrocities again and again and again. our wars against come us terrace, not against palestinian civilians. we will continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance and to do our utmost to keep civilians out of harm's way, even as come us use as civilians as human shields. we will continue to do what is necessary to defend our country and defend our people. as far right,
6:13 pm
security in minnesota as my ben van also reacted to the world course. really, he appeared to make the decision by messaging, quote haig she made on the social media site x, well that the kids joining us now from tel aviv tell us more about the political and public reaction to this ruling hold on as well. we just heard the prime minister benjamin benjamin antonio. i would say that the defense minister you of guidelines was actually a quoted in the, in the, in the, during the proceedings in the hague today. and uh, benny gans, who is a former defense minister, also member of the work i've been, they've had similar statements, basically saying that israel had the right to the right to defend itself. and that it's, it's how much that should have been in the adult. and they have and you, i've got loud at adding that is real, doesn't need any world preaching from anyone we also heard from you. i left the,
6:14 pm
the head of the largest opposition party in cuz i said he also said that the war must go on. because it's your needs to defend itself, and he also talked about the poker see of a more sweet change. but what we didn't hear from them is whether they would abide by what the or the court calling for, which is provide the submitting a report in a months time detailing what measures did israel tate a in d o. to, to comply with these provisional measures. the, the, the cord voted for, they completely ignored that at the moment. now i think by and large is a sigh of relief in the sense that, uh, there was no direct call to stop the war or for a cease fire. but people in israel, i quite surprised people here would tell you, we didn't know start this war is how much we started this war with the october 7th attack. and we are just defending ourselves. there is no understanding that the
6:15 pm
number of casualties is way too high and it's probably seen in civilians that the bearing the brunt of this war. actually one of the latest bull shows that 94 percent of is re these things that the army is using. i did clips of fours when it comes to dealing with a gaza and they also thing that did the number of casualties is justified for israel, israel to achieve its goals. so the government knows that it has popular support. that's that said, i think the government will also be, would be surprised by who voted at the court. because going into this yesterday in today, before we heard over and over coming pages saying a, you know, political funded, saying that they can, that is, will, could count on the judges of who come from western countries. the us, slovakia,
6:16 pm
frauds, australia, japan, they were quite in they, they were suppose that these judges would vote in favor of israel as that did not happen. and that is probably a big surprise for this. really government was counting very much on that. but certainly that is an understanding that this is a stain on israel, that for a country that has such a pos, that's that stem from such a difficult history to be associated with genocide is something that is really did not want part of thank you very much. how the of the move to talking to some tennessee? well daniel, ladies, president of the us middle east project. he's also a farmer. it's really negotiate that. he's joining us live from london. very good to have you with us. um, i want to ask you, 1st of all we've been talking a lot about the, the content of the ruling itself. i want to ask you about the way in which it was presented, because it seemed as though it was done in a very specific fashion to make it extremely clear to those watching and to those
6:17 pm
listening for the judges were ruling on as well. indeed, i mean you had said very interestingly, the judges were called the reality on the ground quoted extensively from senior you do. and another officials and bodies as to the devastation has taken place, quoted only very sparingly, from what these are others presented to the court come out and be not a very compelling taste that is rather late, that the judges then spoke all the specific steps that need to be taken, they went through what the phone was on each of the steps before them to narrow the full thing on the court. apparently this consistently was 15 to so this is a good day that for, for the floor a good day for justice. and unfortunately, that does not yet translate into a good day for gallstones,
6:18 pm
who still face this devastation, these upholding conditions. and this to me because also the measures called for by the court and they went through that do not self employment. but i, we don't give, this is not so easy for israel to ignore. now there's a war, it's been going right now and you have some groups. i didn't go for an immediate cease fire. it's ok. is relatives on the right? that's not what happens is anyone who listen to followed clearly. so that was what happened. the measures including present the evidence including those and it, beg, quote, to these ready presidencies. right. goldman is the album biggest as they should stand trial for inciting to genocide. israel now is being towed you have the right to self defense with an international not within what could possibly be genocide because the court case goes full, which i think is role has to be careful. israel has to report in 30 days for it can
6:19 pm
be in violation of this court order. what are the countries to what to those who been providing the 2000 pound bones like united states of america, do expose, standing now in front of the world that looks at this and sees are shifting the geo political border. a south africa brings this case and gets a remarkable outcome. i want to ask you about something that are corresponding honda of the from you'd mentioned to is just a moment ago talking to us from kind of a she was saying that there was a lot of speculation by commentators in israel. but the, at least the majority of the judges representing western countries, were actually more likely to side with israel when it came to that the voting on the rulings. and yet that does not seem to have happened. what does not tell you? it's very interesting and i think many of us held up right to see what was the
6:20 pm
numbers going to be? who voted what, what. what we saw is the politics is politics and the wes bob . and many people have given up on this that resisting and the judges lined up time and again to a sub law. now, the politicians have a different calculation. but what we saw here rates, and this is how south africa began that case. on january 11th, i'm not saying that judges adults this, but south africa made that link between not clock a pod tight. i'm what we see today. and it may be that in the west, the politicians are in different maybe see their own separate colonial background embodies riley's doing. but that's not how the newest going forward. you mentioned the fact that there is a wider, a longer term case that's being held at the i c. j to establish whether or not genocide has actually taken place in god's or that building of course may take
6:21 pm
years. but to what extent do you think the rulings that we've heard from the i c j today will influence the eventual outcome of that hearing? well, we called nose. and i think what's important here is that as that case plays out over time, there's an awful lot that can go on. and so as we look at that longer horizon, what we're seeing today is the shift in the international, legal, and moral balance forces. we see is roll losing on that plate in a very helpful, powerful way. and if you stand that alongside what else system as well after october 7th, that was this will destroy how must the bottom suppose he's on the grounds on the battlefields of north go. cuz he's right on pieces. this is not
6:22 pm
a world that is going well for his well, we've seen global public support, sweden behind the palestinians. we have seen state support in the global south swing behind the policies. we see an american president in trouble with his own face for how he has behaved on this. we've seen culturally these policy and image is true. so i see, i think what you see here is a real shift and you see this, the system in israel does not know how to re position itself the silence that nothing yahoo was you post on his minutes. did you see this function of decomposition in that system? and i imagine that as a court hearing goes for the attempt to say it's okay, we're going to re launch a piece process we're gonna revisit, will be also. so we're going to rephrase the apartheid reality. i don't think that is going to work because it's been exposed. the shift is on the way. we appreciate
6:23 pm
your time, daniel lady, thank you very much. indeed. thank you. we're going to cost to be occupied by spite and we're going to be live with need to able to came in from all that. so what's the reaction for where you are afraid? of course you've been human. the teams have been reporting on weeks now. all these really actions against palestinians yes indeed, and palestinians were saying that their demands since the beginning of the war has been the same a ceasefire to save the lives of palestinians who have been continuously bombarded, who have been displaced from their homes. and now they're seeking refuge and so many on safe places moving from one place to another. that's enough to say that the westbank has been better. eh, these really waves, the continued physical torture and kennings of palestinians continued. they were hoping that the call for a cease fire from the cords would kind of put some restrictions towards israel's
6:24 pm
actions against boston is you know, we have to remember that israel's attacks against palestinians and the souls did not start just from the october. the 7th of october, but indeed they've been under these really forces the tax for decades at the time. and they were hoping that when it, this time, when there's so much attention happening, when there's so much interest in this a case that this would be the moment that the international community would tell israel stop would hold a red card really. and to tell is real that the world is watching, but they were very disappointed to hear that while that has been some provisional measures, but it did not go as far as ask for a ceasefire. one person was saying on social media that they read the decision as this, they're saying yes, continued killing the past is but make sure they have a make sure they are well fed. well, they're being bombarded. now this is their reaction on the street because palestinians of steve, their follow people being bombarded more than 2000, sorry,
6:25 pm
25900 palestinians have been reported. these reportedly killed and the receive school district, thousands of those that have been more than $60000.00 palestinians injured. and that's not to mention the displacement of more than 1000000 of them. so we're talking about the situation that palestinians feel is so grave is so clear that it does not even need to go as far is more than $100.00 days before the court would say something that fell short from a ceasefire. but i have to say that when i spoke to some diplomats, some people who work in the international law i read now they were saying, we'll take this, this is a 1st step. yes, it's not as much as we wanted. this is not what palestinians wanted to hear when it comes to the need to quote for a cease fire, but it puts israel on the defense. it's an international tribunal. this shows that there is a 1st step that could see israel being taken to international course later. this
6:26 pm
could curve these really reactions on the ground. it either individuals go to this or, or in the occupies was think this is the general sentiment for posting is here, and the what you do for him in the model. i need to thank you very much. well know the router has been watched closely by the us israel stones all either was yet there's been no official reaction from the white house. we're going to bring in particle haine from washington dc for the latest. so positive, we don't have a reaction yet, but there is a lot of states for the us. this is shoot for the us. i think if they had come out the quarter come out and said okay, a ceasefire. now that easy out for united states would have been look, we've been saying all along, this is not the time for a cease fire. what the international court of justice did is tell israel to do exactly what the united states has been asking them to do. basically, stop with this mass. what does the prep, the president call the indiscriminate bombing? what does he targeted operations that goes exactly in line with what the court said,
6:27 pm
getting more aid? the us has been saying repeatedly every day that they need to see more a going in and when, and they say that they believe israel is falling international law when reporters point out. of course they are not following the international law. and of course not enough is going in, they really just sort of brush that off. so this is going to give more credibility to those. an especially in a invited space that have been saying this has to stop. so what's next? if it goes to you and security council, we know the us as several times used, it's vito power to stop and he called for a ceasefire. this is a much, much different say they wouldn't be seen as hypocrites for, for voting down. so the court that says, do exactly what do you, what has that been telling you to do? they've been trying to be dismissive of the case earlier, calling it the merit list counterproductive and completely without any basis in fact. but they can't go after the, the court because in past cases that was just looking at when the court ruled
6:28 pm
against russia and ukraine. the statement from the state department is the court which plays a vital role in the peaceful settlement of the settlement of disputes and under the un charter. so if this does go to the un security council, it is going to be a very, very big thing for the bite administration, if he is going to step in and protect israel. that is going to be noticed by his base. we've had several people talking. it is true, he is really is being hurt in the polls by especially young people who have taken to the streets and record numbers and propes. busy denny and marches, people of color. so he's handling this completely wrong. if he goes against the international community, they will notice that it's already looking like it's going to be a close election. he cannot afford for those people to stay home. and here at the white house, they know that bodies, thank you very much, patty going in washington, dc. we're going to bring in all just the other senior political analyst model of a shot of who's with us here in doha. so we had daniel levy,
6:29 pm
the president of the us middle east project, is also a former, is really negotiate or he was saying that this ruling is a landmark legal case. it, it, it is a marks a specific moment in the way that israel is regarded in legal terms by the rest of the world. in practical times. what does this really actually achieve if it's not enforceable, although it is binding? um, you know, the court, the i c j is the world court. it's not the government no matter what the ruling is, it wasn't going to enforce it. even if the ruling is biting this court. the 15 judges don't have a police force. going to have an army don't have military, they don't have money, don't have anything with which to enforce any decision. right? if there's the, you're not convictions numbers, not the believe security numbers, national united nations security council members that kinda enforce any such. so it
6:30 pm
doesn't matter what this court comes out with in the end of the day, they will not enforce it. right? i mean, that's very simple. in fact, this court in 2004 also made an opinion about the a positive one. in the west bank. i need to judge that to be illegal and shouldn't be dismantled as 20 years ago. but was still there. it has not been dismantled because the united states will not dismantle it. right. so the court did issue an open in on the wall 20 years ago. busy was still spending, and is there a set on occupying power in the west bank right as it isn't garza? so i think what's important into shortly is that it is a huge success. a victory for south africa, even though it does not have immediate wins for the people and guys in terms of a moving or you mentioned the doing security council. there is a,
6:31 pm
an argument to suggest that given the circumstances you talked about, does this give some more weight to cases or are um, applications that are made to the un security council that might actually sway the decisions of those might actually as compact. here was just explaining for the us in a very difficult position, almost right into a corner when it comes to actually using is vito in favor of israel is as done in the past. i think in many ways, rob the idea today that these 15 judges from 50 different countries, the world's highest court, have decided based on evidence. and based on united nations agencies that they wouldn't put is read all the trials for general side moving forward. that model weight of this course of that judgment based on evidence of the past 100 plus days, will have
6:32 pm
a huge effect on the psychology. and the model of standing of those countries or been support thing is unconditionally, the past 34 months. how very act you know, based on that, that depends on how expedient they are, how narrow minded they are, or how much they seem themselves to be. the men and women of history, right? that they are on the right sides of history. because here, as you said, and as participated, stated that some of that holding some of it right. in effect, those echo some of what the, not, some of the united states has been wondering about. you need to stop the end discriminate bombing units. you need to listen to the civilian casualties on software, but that's not with the importance of this court's ruling is the importance of the sony and his court would in lies in the fact that very suspect there's
6:33 pm
a plausible evidence that is there it is got in general side, i guess the people, so it's not just about war crimes, it's not just about avoiding significant casualties. they think there's a noticeable proof close on the evidence. evidence that is right is getting genocide against the palestinian people in casa. so that must then provoke or invoke assisted move on the part of it also support is right and also not support his right because pressure is going to start building up by the worst on public opinion on western states at the united nations security council. to quote for the cease fire, and i think different countries from the global south are also going to stop putting pressure on there is nothing partners right? to start putting more pressure on is right. because the, the, the, the, the ice c j. it's not just making holdings in the ip sec, i mean, as i said, it's
6:34 pm
a motor on legal blow. but in effect, this, the thing is right. we want to hear back from you in a months time. it's like is there others on probation already dislike is riley is on part or you already that you need to come back and fill us and show us how you are respecting the things we are sending you. so is there a, is a suspect is right, is on trial and not just on try and for this on that and significant thing is on trial for general side problem. thank you very much. indeed, we're going to be talking to you again in about half and it was time, but for another. thank you very much indeed. modeling the shot. well, let's just take a look back at exactly what we said in the hague just a few hours ago. now, the president of the international court of justice outlined measures that israel must take immediately. let's listen again to that really of the state of israel shell in accordance with its obligations under the convention under prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide in relation to this house. the indians and guys
6:35 pm
that take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of article 2 is a convention, in particular, a killing members of the group be causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. see deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction and hold for in part in the imposing measures intended to prevent birth within the group. the state of israel shall ensure, with the immediate effect that its military does not commit any acts described in point one above. the state of israel shall take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the palestinian group in the gaza strip. the state of israel shall take immediate and effective measures to ensure the provision of urgently needed
6:36 pm
basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by palestinians in the gaza strip. the state of israel shall take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of article 2. and article 3 of the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide against members of the palestinian group in the gaza strip. the state of israel shall submit a report to the court and all measures taken to give effect to this order within one month as from the date of the order. and then also, tonya is a reader and public law at so i. so university of london, he's also editor in chief of the palestine year belk of international law. and he's joining us by skype from london factor to have you with us. the obvious question to this is what happens legally if israel does not respond to these rulings,
6:37 pm
what are the mother of the legal enforcement? the security council is the one that is in charge of enforcing the earnings binding does not cover injustice to. uh, this is an order that is supposed to be compelling on all the states as opposed to the i see general thing and uh, in terms of advisory opinions like the one we had on the outside world in 2004, there was the claim was that it's not enforceable because it's a positive opinion. in this case, there can be no such claim. now if he dismisses this or what do you by the i said you in the same way it dismissed the opening of an investigation by the as i see a couple of years ago. and the same way it's dismissed, the human rights watch. and i'm just the reports on a bottle type, it will be fm, it's position as out of state as a by a state. and in any case,
6:38 pm
this ruling means that all states that the policies that the state bought at the to the convention on genocide on the end with the punishment under conventional dentist, i have a duty to prevent genocide and therefore they need to intervene in order to prevent genocide and discharge their obligations on genocide. obviously in terms of legal come and implications. i'm not the only the implications for this women at this decision, but also the political dynamics that can create. i want to ask you just about the way in which the court has framed its ruling 8. for example, the 1st professional measures that had been requested by south africa was the state of israel show immediately suspended the ministry operations in and against garza. that was not specifically addressed in the ruling. why do you think that the, the judges chose to frame the rulings in the way that they did of what as
6:39 pm
far as the lack of an older dues had to have ceasefire, we need to remember 2 things. first of all, in the genocide cases before the i c j. i liked the one on it between the gum. yeah . versus ma'am. uh, there was no ceasefire or the i ordered by the quote to the case. so for that services ukraine was not a genocide. the case, it was a case in which the slide was older, but it was not enforced. and this is the 2nd complication of this case of the course with a domestic with international. would it be reluctant to order any kind of emissions that would not be enforced because it shows the weakness of the court? so i'm not surprised that the issue at the dialect ceasefire. cool, but not on the other measures that this court order. and they in directly and effectively go for a drastic, scathing down of these really, i mean, it's
6:40 pm
a campaign to excellent some of the question of allowing humanitarian aid effective immediately she mentioned in a, the court court is the one who official to say that no effective 8 can be delivered with the, with the military bottom and continuing. so they would have to be a stop or a seas even if temporary for such bombardment for human effects implemented in aid to each dozens, particularly those who are in the most. so the mentors as well, the genocide, the ex that is and has to uh make sure that they have to be actions do not amount to include the killing of a gas ends, as well as the uh, thinking about uh, conditions that will destroy a substantial impact as opposed to the m people in ga. so again, there is no way for his right to abide by these orders without drastically
6:41 pm
changing its ministry campaign against a dozens opposed to me as more generally. so i see all these measures to be in directly quoting for the end of the world. i think it will have been on the political dynamics that went into a lot of what's been happening in, in gaza, has been shown to the world as a result of the media, but also social media as well. the israel is required, as you mentioned, to make a report to the i c, j within a months time in order to show that it has responded to the ruling. but in a sense, this is the accused being asked to prevent a for the present evidence that they are responding to those rulings. what's emphasis is there in the court to establish the veracity of the report that b is mary's mate might provide. how do you monitor that report to make sure it's accurate?
6:42 pm
but obviously the court was very sanguine about this and they said that south africa we'd be given the chance to decline to is there larry pulse? so is there any reports lacked velocity or lack tools or value? these would be challenged by this, by the south african lawyers. and then the court will obviously it came out designed for the end of the case. but what's important about this kind of reporting mechanism is that, that, that allows monitoring off as a negative. it is and will force as i am, to a mix as certain measures even if they are lipstick or even if the odd for a, you know, a political consumption that will show a change in the way it's going back to this method campaign in order to abide by the international court of justice order and it's not as simple as well that the air juicy. busy these represent measures is reflected in the fact that the court order, but it quickly,
6:43 pm
the kind of report because in other cases that the question and so the monthly or 6 monthly audibles most of the time has been really interesting to get the benefit of your expertise in this and we appreciate that. thank you very much. indeed. it's going to take you to the situation on the ground and guys. and now while the rolling was being delivered in the hey, is really a tax on the strip continued at least a $183.00 palestinians are being killed in strikes since thursday alone that's taking the desktop beyond 26000. i mean, my heard reports from alpha in southern garza, it is really air strikes over night, then into friday targeted and will say, right, refugee camp, the length of road policy and one of the victims as well. during the other, he and his young son were killed when their family home was bought. those one did in countless other attacks of treatment all off to the hospital. our
6:44 pm
house was barred. they destroyed the bomb, the house, and everything fell on our screens in the the world. the whole organization reports solely for the scenes of gauze of 36 hospital is our functioning and only partially, in some cases, doctors can do nothing but watch. unable to help people. it's happening right in front to the eyes. this child has been killed and nobody can do anything. don't even the doctors could do anything for him. in fine units in the south of this 3000 or palestinians are preparing to leave for almo, off the west of the city is really occupation planes dropped the flick,
6:45 pm
saying that we must evacuate the area and go to the mass or medical complex via bar street. so everyone left, but there were violent confrontations. there, the situation is extremely difficult. we're calling on the red cross to come and support people to the safe passage. israel wants us to use these families who have already lost so much, are now forced to flee. yet again, this time toward the coast, with no guarantee that there will be any safe for their honeymoon mode via the dropbox southern garza. meanwhile, the lack of food and water and guys are secure. the widespread hung across the strip about hoss the population is at risk of starvation. and through the hundreds of thousands of children, palestinians have desperately searching for food every day. and some coming under fire from the is really ministry such a lopez, although young has more, a desperation is growing by the day with hunger be coming from their booth for many. okay, because of the thousands of palestinians around
6:46 pm
a truck delivery date in carson city. but there's not enough for everyone, sam, and is now a reality for many health workers worn. it's one that will likely get worse. and that's, you know, listen to, you know, i had a situation be tragic, would find and doesn't do justice. would misery isn't enough. people are eating folder, that's everything, animals, water, electricity, and internet has been comp, food and flowers. limitations of all i think is just so challenging. many displaced families who have lost everything over the last 3 months, have to wait for days for a single 2nd. a flower, but we haven't had in the uh the we don't have jobs and we don't have money. the price of a soccer flyer used to be $10.00. now. so for 200, we came here to face death just for the sake of having one bag of flour. while some people have been killed while waiting for 8,
6:47 pm
because the health ministry says is really forces recently killed at least 20, posted in for were lined up and waiting for food deliveries. i don't want a sense of despair spreading the pain that we are starving. we have to eat animal food, we don't care about death anymore. they can kill me. just want to have a bag of flour to give my family, with little to no chance of getting flower. some people are using animal fodder to make their bread. that's until it also runs out how sending work receive their options are vanishing. the so out ahead of how about the good do you go to get flower, you will die. and if you stay at home, you will also die from hunger and we started eating rice and lentils either. and now the rice has run out. you wouldn't officials say a quarter of goss was popularly should of 2300000 men, women and children spacing starvation. and as the war continues, more palestinians are likely to see a similar effect. patsy,
6:48 pm
a little physical again, which is here. the, i'm going to take a brief look through some of the other stories making news around the world. now the un security council has discussed the dining of a russian ministry playing near the board of ukraine at any emergency meeting. bosco accuse is key for bringing down the aircraft. it says was transporting ukrainian prisoners of war, but ukraine has requested more evidence. gather all those on the reports from the un headquarters in new york. a pre meditated crime at an emergency meeting of the un security council. that is how russia describe the downing of a plane, reportedly carrying dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war. but not unless it us peacekeepers this time, the key regime for some inexplicable reason, decided to sabotage this procedure and do it in the most barbaric way possible. as
6:49 pm
was shown, brother preliminary investigation, this act of terror by the ukrainian armed forces was done by using an anti aircraft complex from the car key, or blast. a lot is indicating this could be either an american patriot or an iris t system, which is german manufactured, detailed in carefully worded statements, the ukrainian representative put the blame on russia. russia, there is full responsibility for the lie. so if you crane in prisoners of war, we have system conducting an international investigation to sublease all the circumstances of this incident. but it will be difficult if not impossible for the un to conduct a probe into the downing of the plane. and that's because it was a military aircraft. and that's something that you and international civil aviation organization doesn't have the jurisdiction to look into gabriel's onto. i'll just see it at the united nation. so new york sweeping changes to argentina is economic
6:50 pm
regulations have cleared the 1st title in congress, but suffer ones lie ahead. new president, how the military's boot now requires majority approval from both congressional chambers. this coalition only holds a minority of seats. large protests have been held against the reform package. french farm is blocked. some of the countries may most of ways with tractors and a protest demanding urgent action on low prices for agriculture projects. they're choosing the government have not helping them to cope with what they say are excessive regulations and low food prices. long stretches of some of the countries key roads have been blocked. the process comes ahead of announcements from the government on new measures. it's expected later on friday. tens of thousands of people in australia approach testing in solidarity with indigenous people. they're calling for australia day to be abolished or celebrated at a different time. the national holidays held on january the 26th,
6:51 pm
and it marks the day that a british fleet sales into semi harbor more than 200 years ago. indigenous history, i'm going to say the holiday represents the injustices they've suffered since he's european colonization. the still ahead on orders here on the we're going to have more than the landmark written by the international court of justice, calling on israel to take action to prevent genocide in gaza. the business latest to be sponsored by interlock tuck. he's real estate consultant. the
6:52 pm
base initial agents to be sponsored by intellect tuck, he's real estate consultant. the the, we're going to return to our main story. this out of the was top court has issued
6:53 pm
a landmark ruling that old as israel to take steps to prevent genocide and gaza is the 1st ordering. and the case followed by side of the african against israel. judges from the international court of justice voted overwhelmingly in favor of 6 provisional measures, including a demand that israel put an end to the kelly and harmony of palestinians of israel, muscle, sure, with immediate effect that it's military forces do not commit any of the aforementioned decks. the court is also as if you israel must take measures in its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement. to commit genocide in relation to the members of the palestinian group and the gaza strip. the court further considers that israel most takes immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by palestinians in the gaza strip.
6:54 pm
obviously the senior political analyst button model in the shorter is back with us again, the international crow court of justice didn't specifically call for us these fine guys. we were talking about that earlier in the show. but in order to meet these criteria, it seems as though israel was essentially have to stop fighting and not in gaza, or at least bring it almost to a halt to be able to take all those boxes. i mean, how does that play out? do you think? well, this is the thing. there's a division of labor, right in world politics. this is a court, a court of law. and it made certain decisions, preliminary ones, based on the legal case, right? and a judge that in the next 4 in the foreseeable future, it will put is road on tie on for genocide. and meanwhile, it is making sure that in order for this genocide, not to actually materialize as we speak, that is what needs to go to
6:55 pm
a certain number of measures. as we have heard told us that you're not the admissions that go through drive it all. it's impossible to deliver humanitarian aid. it's impossible to end the suffering and the depth and the destruction while the water goes on. and hence the one must stop. which means that we have now what's the model and the legal authorities, right? that excellent. the united nations charter lined up. what we need now is a u. n. secure to take also, personally ocean in shining this legal opinion, the legal judgment, and the secretary general's evaluation that you cannot have humanitarian age. you cannot shrink the civilian casualties without the end of the fighting, as we know it today. now, it to, it falls upon the united states and other united nations bourbon its numbers to take this legal model. uh, uh,
6:56 pm
judgment and enforce it that way they do that. it depends whether they are going to pursue political expediency or whether they would pursue more of a, you know, model judgement or a on a policy based on what they claim to be. which is putting human rights at the center of their phone policy. and one of the things that came up that we were discussing about before was the fact that israel, as you mentioned, has to report within 30 days. now that's a very short deadline. and what's interesting is we were hearing that upon the side of africa is going to have a right to respond to that report, essentially, calling out israel appointment believes israel is not telling the truth that really gives one the impression from the outside that this is more pressure than israel has actually faced before, but it is because it is actually being held to account for what has been going on. and god, absolutely, absolutely. i think this is of a 1st of
6:57 pm
a kind where by this is happening. it's detailed, it's in plain sight. i think, to my understanding, every other global china will have heard have are the ruling, right. even those who did not have a, the actual uh, you know, opening sessions that actually are the ruling. and the only thing is very clear in its detailed, basically a repeat repetition of the south african case. right? i mean, i was actually, i wrote 5 pages of notes. i was amazed by how did you do that with the, the, the courts president. would you repeat one claim after the claim of the south africans basically making the case? that's 1st of all, there's unraveling genocide. second, there's an intent for getting the genocide and might is really the, there's, there's a lot to go into that. we're going to be talking about that over the next few hours or so, but for now modeling push on, and thank you very much appreciated as well. that's it for those new years. are now
6:58 pm
my colleagues on these are don, is going to be here in a couple of minutes with more on all the stories and to, to not lose the i. c, j unroll office, and stay with us on the listing seeking mediation, it feels like something is wrong, the closest it has ever been to midnight. they will be met with fire and security rise of anxiety. are you doing sterling radio tape, or i'd be that to that's like exploring how exist, central threats to life impacts the human psyche apocalypse may be coming soon on our oil rich, your rock is facing a crisis and a final vibe to results. water, as dams built by its upstream neighbors, restrict flow under investment and climate change, or exacerbate the situation. now, when regions were settled, funding 1st emerge,
