gaza has been the focus of this icj ruling, but it is i focus of this icj ruling, but it is not the only sate? the situation in the west bank at the moment as you sate? the situation in the west bank— moment as you sate? the situation in the west bank is _ moment as you sate? the situation in the west bank is pretty _ moment as you sate? the situation in the west bank is pretty much - moment as you sate? the situation in the west bank is pretty much like - the west bank is pretty much like gaza, although at a much lesser scale. if you look at the number being killed over the last hundred days or so, that exceeds in proportion what has been witnessed over the years of conflict, so that tells you the scale of things, the armament of settlers, the expansion of settlements, this confiscation of property, the control of the palestinian geography being so disconnected is reflected of the dire need to intervene. i would say that the whole of palestine is aching as a result of the continuing aggression by the israeli military force. it aggression by the israeli military force. , ., ., force. it

let's jump right in and give us your perspective on the icj ruling today. "i think first of all, this is huge victory for for palestine, for gaza, for west bank, for all the oppressed in the world, um, first of all, because the icj in their in their ruling have, first of all clearly said that the icj does have jurisdiction to rule over this case, palestine versus israel, so that's very important because lot of legal scholars were of the opinion that the icj. may rule and say that they don't have jurisdiction to hear this matter, so that's a huge success, huge win. secondly, the fact that they have ordered the, they have ordered israel to ensure the humanitarian aid is reached in gaza, that indirectly goes to show that israel has to end its blockade especially of the... humanitarian aid entering into israel, but i think where i feel the icj fell short was ruling on ending the genocide, it ruled on, it it failed in ruling on israel calling for a ceasfire or doing seasfire, it hasn't called for an end of israel's military operations in gaza, and the reason why

against the israeli regime has now ordered israel to take all measures to prevent genocide, the icj has ordered israel to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide and it must ensure its forces do not commit genocide uh and also issued emergency order for israel to improve the humanitarian situation in gaza. let's just quickly go over what was just said by the uh presiding judge uh joan donahu is delivering the interm ruling on the provisional measures in this case of israeli genocide uh judge donahu said that some of the allegations against israel do fall within provisions of the genocide convention, which means that the court has the jurisdiction uh to rule this as to give a ruling on the genocide case uh and also has a jurisdiction to issue emergency orders with regards to the genocide case as well, the presiding judge said that sufficient the dispute exists for genocide and that the court will not throw away the case, that was initially the call by the israeli regime as... well also describing the uh the conditions and the situation in gaza, judge donny who said tha

the icj however has failed to call for a ceasefire in the besieged and war-torn palestinian territory. will this ruling help ease the sufferings of palestinians as israel has been quick to defy it, vowing to press ahead with its onslot on gaza. our guests for tonight's spotlight are zakir ahmad mahit, attorney activist and political analyst joining us from johannesburg, and also we have podcaster and journalist. esha krishnaswami joining us from st. petersburg. welcome to the program, to the both of you. let's start off with mr. ahmed mayat in johannesburg, now a historic ruling indeed from an international tribunal against the israelis, in the words of the south african president, after decades of occupation, apartite and aggression, the palestinian cries for justice have been heated. what do you make of the icg? i believe this is a tremendous victory, i think i wear two hats, one as a person from the legal fraternity and another is a south african, and as a south african i'm particularly proud that the best legal minds within south africa together with the support of the government

, it does at least accept the jurisdiction of the icj, even though it ignored the icj ruling on on the wall, the wall that it built around the west bank um so i don't think that they will just simply say, okay, well the icj called on us to cease all military operations, we we're going to do what they tell us to do, i don't think that's going to happen, that's why i think it's much more likely that they'll be asked to do some limited things which israel could accept, though they can accept it verbally, it doesn't mean they'll actually do it practically, they're not going implement it practically, but at least say okay shine, we'll do that, it it's much more likely that they'll do something limited than to agree to something major. such as ceasing all military operations. what do you make engler of the um proposal that is israel made for pause as it called it uh for the uh captives to be released? and exchange for the um prisoners that israel is holding in phases uh, which also included palestinians to return to gaza city. um, this happened in the span of 24 hours where there were roughl

he also called for necessary measures to force israel to fully implement the icj orders. the palestinian foreign ministry has also welcomed the court's decision, saying the ruling is in favor of humanity and international law. palestine welcomes the provisional measures ordered by the international court of justice today. the icj judges assess the facts and law, they ruled in favor of humanity and international law. we call in all states to ensure that all provisional measures ordered by the court are implemented including by israel the occupy power, this is binding legal obligation. states now have a clear legal obligations to stop israel's genocidal war on the palestinian people in gaza and to make sure that they are not complicit. rad al maliki said the icj ruling is an important reminder that no one is above the law. he said the order serves as a wake up call for israel and all its allies. enabled the regimes entrenched impunity. israeli prime minister on the other hand called the order a disgrace, it won't be erased for generations. b to continue the onslot until wha

what do you make of the icj? "i believe this is a tremendous victory, i think i wear two hats, one as a person from the legal fraternity and another is a south african, and as a south african, i'm particularly proud that the best legal minds within south africa, together with the support of the government have taken this particular case to the icj and exposed israel for what it is, the genocidal colonial settler state. the second part is the legal implication. this is a tremendous victory and if you look at it objectively, effectively when you look at what was asked for in the papers by the south african government, approximately i would say 80% if i have to estimate was given to the south africans in terms of the relief sort. israel, yes it is not calling for a cease fire, however i believe that the purpose of the genocide convention is to stop genocidal acts, not conflict in itself, and is a differentiation that was raised by israel at some point, however the bulk of what was quoted by the speaker, justice dona

, it does at least accept the jurisdiction of the icj, even though it ignored the icj ruling on on the wall, the... that it built around the west bank, so i don't think that they will just simply say, okay, well the icj called on us to sees all military operations that we we're going to do what they tell us to do, i don't think that's going to happen, that's why i think it's much more likely that they'll be asked to do some limited things which israel could accept, though they can accept it verbally, it doesn't mean they'll actually do it practically, they're not going implement it practically, but at least say okay shine, we'll do that, it that's much more likely that... they'll do something limited than to agree to something major such as ceasing all military operations. what do you make engler of the proposal that is israel made for pause as it call? did uh for the captives to be released and exchange for the prisoners that israel is holding in phases which also included palestinians to return to gaza city. um this happened in the span of 24 hours where there were roughly 24 regime

the icj order is an important reminder. rad al maliki said the icj ruling is an important reminder that no one is above the law. he said the order serves as a wake-up call for israel and all its allies who enabled the regimes entranceed impunity. the israel prime minister on the other hand called the order a disgrace that won't be. raised for generations. benjamin netanyahu vowed to continue the onslot until what he called the elimination of all threats and the release of all captives in gaza. reactions of pouring into the interrum ruling by the international court of justice on the genocide case against israel, the european union said it wanted quote full, immediate and effective implementation of the un court ruling. the eu emphasized. that the icj orders are binding and israel must comply with them. scotland's prime minister said the course order is clear and must be abided by. he reiterated his country's call for immediate cease fire urging israel to stop his wide-scale killing and destruction in gaza. spain also welcom

welcomed the ruling as an important development that is in favor of human. and international law, the icj however, has failed to call for a cease fire in the besieged and war-torn palestinian territory. will this ruling help ease the sufferings of palestinians, as israel has been quick to defy it, vowing to press ahead with its onslot on gaza. our guests for tonight's spotlight are: zakir ahmad mahit, attorney activist and political analyst joining us from johannesburg. and also we have podcaster and journalist esha krishna swami joining us from st. petersburg. welcome to the program to the both of you. let's start off with mr. uh ahmed mayat in johannesburg, now a historic ruling indeed from an international tribunal against the israelis. in the words of the south african president, after decades of occupation. apartite and aggression, the palestinian cries for justice have been heated. what do you make of the icj ruling? i believe this is a tremendous victory. think i wear two hats, one as a person from the legal fraternity and another is a south african, and as a south african i'm part

174 palestinians were killed in gaza, just 24 hours and that's just a couple of days uh after the icj's initial ruling to stop the genocide in gaza. they've surrounded hospitals in hanjunis, forcing 95% of staff in one of the hospitals to flee, and now thousands of fleeing. uh uh the fighting of khanus, they've arrived in rafah where winter storms have flooded the displacement camps with waterborn diseases ravaging the people in the camp, so what is happening right now? well, israel is going crazy, and it's uh at the uh invitation of the united states, the us is allowing this to happen, it's basically saying go crazy, we don't mind, so it's we really... have to look to the us, because israel is not responsible, it's just it's not a state, it's not a viable state that respects international borders or international laws of any kind, so we really are stuck with the us, unless, you know, if turkey or some tried to go in and and provide relief, they would just be bombed by israel, they israel would like that, because wants a regional war, it wants everything to go up in flames and it just a

the icj however fell short of ordering the regime to end this onslaught on the strip. "the course rulings are final and binding, but it has no powers to enforce them. palestinian assistant foreign minister armar hijazi calls on all states to ensure that the top un cause orders are completely enforced. israel now will stand trial accused of committing the crime of..." all crimes, we call on states that to ensure that all provisional measures ordered by the court are implemented. states and governments have clear obligations in light of this order. first and foremost, they must make sure they are not complicit in this genocide. this is a good day for humanity. this ruling is in favor of international system based on law. and against exceptionalism and double standards. it should be a wake up call for israel and its enablers. the state of palestine will undertake every endeavor to follow up on this important ruling by the courts towards ensuring the rights of the palestinian people and ensuring justice. to this end, and with deep conviction in the rule of law. we will con

israel's long-term power, so maybe the icj ruling, a good icj ruling would even enable them to justifyake a look a statement made by the former uh chief of staff of the israeli regime forces, this is what he has said, george sami, whoever speaks of the absolute defeat of hamas and gaza um and of it no longer having the will or the capability to harm israel is not speaking the truth. basically you having many who are saying that and that has caused rifts within the israely cabinet and of course the uh general public at large. uh do you think that that will prove to be a driving force to maybe have the israeli regime uh stop what it can't achieve uh because then what purpose does it have uh executing this us is really genocidal war? well there's no question i mean that um there are very real divisions um in israel among the political leadership and the military leadership, they don't think this war is going particularly well, they don't see any um prospect of victory, which means that netanyahu is just continuing with this slaughter, israel is obviously losing whatever support it has in

the icj judges assessed the facts and the law. they ruled in favor of humanity and international law. we call in all states to ensure that all provisional measures ordered by the court are implemented including by israel, the occuping power. this is biding. legal obligation, states now have clear legal obligations to stop israel's genocidal war on the palestinian people in gaza and to make sure that they are not complicit. he said the icj ruling is an important reminder that no one is above the law, he's a order serves as a wake-up call for israel and all its allies who enable the regime's entrenched impunity. "israely prime minister on the other hand called order a disgrace that will not be erased for generations. benjamin netanyahu vowed to continue the onslot until we called elimination of all threats and release of all captives in gaza. and reactions are pouring in into the interm ruling by the international court of justice on the geneside case against israel. european union said it wanted to full, immediate and effective imp

being here, i'll start with you, naim, you heard the part of the ruling there, your reaction to the icj's in trim ruling, well the the instinct of nejak reaction was, why didn't they indicate cease fire as a provisional measure? i i think that it's understandable why that would be the kind of instinctive reaction of many of us, but i think when we look at the rule. overall, it's a very good ruling, it it says that israel has case to answer for in terms of genocide, doesn't rule whether it is, but it has case to answer about that, it accepts south africa's narration of all of the acts that south africa says are genocidal acts, except though, accepts those as possibly constituting genocide, it accepts south africa's statement of all of the comments made by israeli politicians. as intent for genocide as being possibly intent for genocide, and and then in the provisional measures, while it it tosses the ball into the israeli court almost completely, but what it does say is that for example that israel must ensure that it prevents the killings of of members of the group of palestinians in ghaz

, because the the the closest that the icj has ever gotten to passing a conviction of genocide was in the case of uh bosnia versus serbia in the 90s. well look, i mean, all that south africa at the moment is really asking uh the international court of justice to do is to pass some um provisional uh measures essentially to uh call on the designest state to end its genocidal campaign against the people of gaza and the rest of the people of palestine, but at the end of the day the powers of the icj, it's enforcement are rather ten. you can look at the case of nicaragua against the united states back in the mid-1980s where the united states was found to be supporting the contras militia groups basically. uh which were trying to destabilize the new revolutionary government of nicaragua, the icj found against them, the icj found that the united states had to pay reparations to nicaragua, and essentially nothing came of it, because the united states is a permanent member of the security council, enforcement of icj decisions is the responsibility of the united nations security council, and be

campaign, and the genocidal intent was the reason south africa has taken the israely regime to the icj, mmar, more than 100 uh days on uh "we are awaiting the uh icj interim uh ruling uh, what is your legal forecast? because the the the closest that the icj has ever gotten to passing a conviction of genocide was in the case of uh bosnia versus serbia in the 90s. well look, i mean all that south africa the moment is really asking uh the international court of justice to do is to pass..." some um provisional measures essentially to call on thesigner state to end its genocidal campaign against the people of gaza and the rest of the people of palestine, but at the end of the day the powers of the icj, it's enforcement are rather tenuous, you can look at the case of nicaragua against the united states back in the mid-1980s where the united states was found to be supporting the... militia groups basically, which were trying to destabilize the new revolutionary government of nicaragua, the icj found against them, the icj found that the united state. had to pay reparations to nicaragua and ess

only six of the special measures requested by south africa were in fact granted by the icj, includinggn affairs on 6th december 2023, "the muted response to the icj's interim ruling shows that it wasn't just occupation israel that was in the dock in the building behind me, but actually it was institutions like the icj, like the un's top court, because people want to know that they can have justice that is tied to what's going on and not simply to western political interests, the european union has..." said it respects the decision of the court and expects all parties to comply. meanwhile, israeli ministers have taken to social media to call out both the icj for attempting to lecture tel aviv and again calling the south african case anti-semitic. south africa who brought the action against israel to the icj, acknowledged the six measures granted would be difficult implement without a ceasefire. this case was very much about. about international bodies ensuring that they exercise their responsibility to protect us all as global citizens, israel has one month to make its initial report t

ladies and gentlemen, live from the hague top un court there, the icj begins hearings uh in the case brought by south africa against israel for committing genocide in gaza, in total there were nine points raised by south africa uh as they're demanding the icj to order emergency measures. including suspension of military action in gaza, over 800 scholars and practitioners of international law and genocide studies support south africa's genocide case in gaza. let's quickly go over the proceedings uh that we were uh we were just watching right now. south africa's ambassador to the netherlands took the floor stating that south africa recognize the ongoing nachba uh, which means the expulsion of the palestin. people through israel's colonization since 1948. the south african justice minister also delivered a speech at the hearing at the icj uh as the uh the court hearing uh is underway hundreds have demonstrated outside the icj um large number of pro-palestinian demonstrators have gathered expressing their support uh for the... palestinian cause and for this case being brought against the

why is germany opposed to the south african case against israel at the icj? the headlines, hamas says israel's attack on amal hospital in gaz is yet another. act of war crime committed by the regime. the emmy army says it is carried out new attack against an american vessel in the red sea, and also on our headlines, iran pledges decisive response to any attack its soil and interest amit us retaliation threats over a week.

um, two days of hearing um at the hag at the icj. um, your um reflections of what you heard. thanks side, good to be with you. it's been for me. incredibly powerful and and and moving testimony, which in a sense surprised and shocked myself. um, the icj is ostensibly a un body, but in as much as the international in a court of justice acts, it has always acted in its history thus far, perhaps since its founding, which was around the genocide convention itself, comes of course from the condemnation of nazi genocide in world war ii, and it was that was the motivation for its formation. "but if you see the un as body that's been dominated by its by the major powers in particular by us, britain, france, the nato powers, it's been very key that none of the crimes of those powers have ever come before the icj, whereas often they will drag their victims before the icj, and i'm thinking particularly of slobodan milosevic who was dragged before the icj and died in in their courts essentially, um, so i didn't expect much of it, but actually to see the very powerful testimony to see sou

earlier the european union called the icj's ruling binding say that israel. comply with them. scotland's prime minister said the court's order is clear and urged israel to stop killings in gaza. spain also welcomed the intern measures of the top un court and demanded its implementation. the turkish president described the order as valuable calling for an end to the israeli bloodshed in gaza. tentions remain high along lebanon's southern border where hazbollah resistance movement and israeli forces keep. exchanging fire a daily basis. our berwoord correspondent mariam salah says that it was a pretty busy day for hisballah as it has carried out several operations against iof today, targeting soldiers and military bases. well, it was a pretty busy day today for the lebanese resistance. they had several operations against israeli posts. the most significant of which was the one where they targeted the zipdeen bararoks in the occupied shabal farms. using uh the falk one, now this is just rocket that was debut just yesterday uh by hazballah's resistance since the beginning of the co

and the ruling of the icj, correct? and ali uh let's look at this from moral standpoint: how is it possible for for example the israeli military call it to call itself the world's most moral uh military yet commit such heinous acts against the palestinians in the gaza strip or the americans who lecture the world about morality and yet support and sponsor and arm a genocide uh at the hands of the israelis against the palestinians. how do we explain this? it's unexplainable, but i think what is important is the fact that in israel at the moment, 80% plus are pro war, i think that's where we need to kind of look into and see why those opinions have not been shifted yet, as you quite widely pointed out, lot of uh young jews in states especially, and lot of organizations are standing against. and as we speak, there are israelis preventing aid from getting into the gaza strip. this is uh, this is the predicament of identity politics in some sense and how nations and societies are somehow kind of psychologically designed almos

early the european union called the icj's ruling binding saying that israel must comply with them.building gaza, the reconstruction project is still teetering between the cruelty of the siege and the procrastination of the israeli regime. what we are doing here to keep people surviving. we are not talking about quality of life in gaza. if you look deeply in what is going on in gaza, you will find out big slow, there is no tomorrow. all agree that the slowdown in the reconstruction. is due to the slow process of transferring funds pledged by the donor countries of the cairo conference, where the unwell received only $270 million, while the required budget is much more. welcome back to the news here press tv. the us military says it is destroyed an anti-ship missile in yemen that was ready to launch into the red sea. us central command claimed the missile presented an imminent threat. to the us navy in the region, that came after the yemani army struck a british oil tanker an operation in the gulf of aden. the ship falsely claimed that was heading for greece, but the ameriny army sai

mohammed um what do you think this which way do you think is verdict at the icj will go? we are concerned as sir africans that they will be interference from the united states and from other powers that are close to the israeli regime, however, it would really jeopadize the very value of international law, the very value of human rights, and we're hoping that the judges of that court will not be subjected to the kind of political pressures that some have been suggesting would be would be used, we do hope that in the next week to have a urgent judgment coming out, calling for immediate cease fire of of israeli of israel's assault on the palestinian gaza strip, but regardless of the actual judgement, we do feel that israel really has lost the moral ground, this was one of the last attempts that that it could have that he could have used to salvage itself, but in the process it really has only but exposed its crimes for the world to see and for the world to judge. um, seas spire is indeed the most - think at the moment uh and ranjit brah um, what are your fears uh based on w

south africa who brought the action against israel to the icj, acknowledged the six measures granted called on countries that announce the sessation of their support for ara to immediately reverse their decision. the palestinian authority said the un agency needs maximum support and not cuts. this after israel claimed several honorable staff were involved in hamas's october seventh operation. the us, italy and several other countries have now stopped funding for the organization. us military says it is destroyed an anti-ship missile in yemen that was ready to launch into the red sea. us central command claimed the missile presented an imminent threat to the us navy in the region. that came after the yemani army struck a british oil tanker an operation in the gulf of aiden. the ship falsely claimed that it was heading for greece, but the yemani army said that it was actually bound for israel. the vessel was being escorted. by american and british warships, which retreated under relentless attacks by the yemani armed forces. the yemani army has targeted over two dozen israeli operated

why is germany opposed to the south african case against israel at the icj? your headlines here on pressv is really forced. storm major hospitals in south of the gazo strip asking displace people there and crew to evacuate at gunpoint. the hamas political bureau chief says the palestinian's priority is to stop brutal aggression against gaza and complete withdraw of occupation forces. and the us president says he decided a response to recent deadly drone strike a us base in jordan, but

south africa fold its case at the icj in late december. joing us now from the hague itself is press tv correspondent amina taylor for an update and what we are to. respect uh later. okay, i mean, so we're on standby obviously right now, and uh, if you could just explain for our viewers, i mean uh, we know this is a genocide case, but apparently that has lot of red tape and takes quite a while to process. when we talk about, we're waiting for emergency uh decision on provisional measures that may bring some relief to palestinians. what are we exactly talking about, and what are we anticipating today? well, are essentially? waiting for injunction in the crimes that are being committed by israel in the god strip. there are two plots to this entire case, there is of course the genocide component that you mentioned, and as i briefly touched on in my last appearance here that legal analys for these cases take years and thousands inside palestine, they don't have years for this to come to a conclusion for israel to be found guilty one way or anot

south africa who brought the action against israel to the icj, acknowledged the six measures granted would be difficult implement without a ceasefire. this case uh was very much about international bodies ensuring that they ex size their responsibility to protect us all as global citizens. israel has one month to make its initial report to the icj to show compliance of the special measures requested. palestinians have indicated they will not hold their breaths. amina taylor, press tv, the hague. reactions are pouring in on interm ruling delivered by the icc on the causa. side case against the israeli regime. iran's foreign ministry spokesman says that the icj ruling is late, but it is bitter proof of international crimes, including genocide committed in gaza. nasir khanani in a social media post said that israel's angry reaction to the ruling also showed that the regime is founded on violence and discrimination and does not respect international law and regulations. earlier the european union called the icj's ruling binding, saying that israel must comply with them. the scotland's pr

the icj will have two days of hearings on the case this week. israel is accused of failing to uphold its obligations under the 1948 genocide convention. many countries, including iran have voice support for the case, also over 900 popular movements, unions, political parties and civil organizations have signed an open letter calling on world states to support the genocide case against israel. pro-palestinian groups in south. africa have voiced their support uh to their country's genocide law suit to the international court of justice. let's see a listen to the reaction of one of the activist. in this instance the ziina state has really transgressed all the principles, all the sort of the the clauses that basically speak out against any form of genacide, they've just done a textbook text in a sense of they've just you know. blindly and arrogantly basically been pushing their own story, they talk about human rights for themselves, but the human rights that have committed against the palestinian. they don't even it silence and if anybody, you and i
