International Court Of Justice Gives Additional Action Orders To Israel

JAKARTA - The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will deliver a court order regarding requests for additional temporary action for Israel in a genocide case on Friday, May 24, 2024.

"The general hearing will take place at 15.00 (or 20.00 WIB) at the Peace Palace, The Hague. Judge Nawaf Salam, Chief Justice of the Court, will read out the Court's Order," the United Nations High Court said in a statement on Thursday, May 23, 2024.

Last week, the International Court convened a two-day hearing to discuss additional interim actions against Israel.

This ended with a court request from Israel to provide information about the humanitarian conditions in the designated evacuation zone in the Gaza Strip.

More than 35,600 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom are women and children. Then, nearly 79,900 others have been injured since October 2023.

Previously, Israel was prosecuted for committing genocide in the International Court.

Attorney for the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, on Monday, May 20, 2024, said he believed the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, bears responsibility for war and humanitarian crimes in Palestine, particularly in the Gaza Strip.
