the court could decide to order israel to immediately stop military action and gaza. today's ruling is part of the case brought by south africa against israel, accusing it of committing genocide against palestinians and gaza. know a final decision on whether israel is committing genocide is expected to take years . but again, today is a preliminary rolling on calls for an immediate halt to israel's offensive in gaza . so let's get more as we wait for that announcement. standing by the international court of justice and the hague is dw correspondent, lucio schultz. and so what, what would be the implications for israel if the un judge's order it to halt its military action? so 1st of all, um, halting the military action is only one of the options that are on the table here. so further, africa has been asking for a number of so called provisional measures. and these are a kind of emergency relief. they're used to not make the dispute, which is on the base verse. and so the for guys been asking for a number of these mattress among them also to hold all military operations

gaza. we show this third element next. israel's special genocidal intent is rooted in the... belief that in fact the enemy is not just the military wing of hamas or indeed hamas generally, but is embedded in the fabric of palestinian life in gaza. on 7 october, in a televised address, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu declared war on gaza, and i quote, israel had started clearing out the community. that have been infiltrated by terrorists, and he warned of an unprecedented price to be paid by the enemy. there are more than 2.3 million palestinians in gaza. israel is the occupying power in control of gaza. it controls entry, exit, and the internal movements of inside gaza, and qu prime minister, mr. netanyahu exercises: overall command over the israeli defense force and in turn the palestinians in gaza. prime minister netanyahu in his address to the israeli forces on 28 october 2023, preparing for the invasion of gaza edged the soldiers, to remember what amalek has done to you. this refers to the biblical command by god to s

one, the state of israel shall immediately suspend its military operations in and against gaza. two, the state of israel shall ensure that any military or... regular armed units which may be directed, supported or influenced by it, as well as any organizations and persons which may be subject to its control, direction or influence, take no steps in furtherance of the military operations referred to in point one above. south africa's move has been welcomed by palestinian resistance movements. hamas said the arguments and evidence put forth by south africa. africa proves israel's crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in gaza. the palestinian fire ministry also applauded the move, calling it a historic moment for humanity. this is a historical moment for the palestinian people and for humanity as well as for the world order based on law. a number of countries and international organizations have welcomed south africa's case at the icj. the organization of islamic countries, oic and the arab league expressed their support for the case. malaisia, turkey, jordan and iran are among th

palestinian officials in the gaza strip say israel is using genocide and starvation as its main policy to displace gazans. gaza's government media office said in a statement that the regime is bombing palestinians homes and properties to force them out of the territory. the state. incited the far right israeli minister as saying that israel must encourage palestinians to immigrate from gaza. the media office, however, asserted that israel's plot to displace garsans will never succeed because palestinians are adamant on maintaining their land and ready sacrifice themselves to attain freedom. he called on the international community to condemn israel's heinous atrocities and displacement plans and to pressure the regime to stop his genocidal war against the palestinian people. now more than three months of relentless israely air strikes and shelling have displaced almost the entire population of the besieged gaza strip. the displaced palestinians are struggling with lack of basic supplies. let's take a listen to some of them uh who described the terrible conditions in a refugee camp in r

next, israel's economy as a whole, this entry got our attention, economic impact of the gaza onslot, which they call war in israel, the economy is facing a strain because the gdp has dropped, no surprise there, now this is the part that's interesting, returning reservis to help the economy as the... participate in one form or another to israel's economy, that's how bad the economy is doing, they have to pull the reservist off the battlefield. think about that. uh, next up, another item that caught our attention, and this has to do deal with israel withdrawals, where um, the units again as we just mentioned, which are being withdrawn from gaza, um, is to mitigate the damage to israel's economy from the war which uh began on october 7th with uh the uh well they call it attacks uh we uh call it the liberation that came from the alaxa uh flood operation so two uh of these entries that are related to this uh returning reservist shows how badly again the israely economy is doing and uh finally uh the movements that's called boycott of israel is definitely having impact many are wondering wh

when i speak to people, when i talk to other world leaders, is, "do not take your eyes away from israel and gaza, you, from the beginning, were a staunch advocate of, supporter of, israel's right to defend itself after that barbarous attack by hamas militants on october 7th. but that is three months ago. the pain of it still being deeply felt right across israel, of course, and across the world. but nonetheless, what israel has done in those three months, do you think it has been strategically unwise? absolutely. so from the day after those appalling crimes against humanity that we saw take place in october, i was very clear that israel had a right to defend itself within international law. i was one of the only politicians in the world who made that very clear from the start, because i was concerned about what the tempo might be of the response that we saw. and what we have seen is a response that has not been as targeted, as precise, as proportionate, as focused as i know israel is capable of. and that for me is gravely concerning, that we didn't see enough international leadership of people s
