Embassy of the State of Palestine

The State of Palestine welcomes the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice today. 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.

The State of Palestine rejects and condemns the latest statements made by Israel's Prime Minister pledging to continue the genocidal war in defiance of both the international community and the role of the International Court of Justice.

In the wake of a hundred days marked by relentless killings, destruction, and despair, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu refuses to halt the war on Gaza. Facing charges of genocide by the International Court of Justice, Netanyahu defiantly declares, "No one will stop us, neither The Hague nor anyone else."

As we near 100 days of Israel’s criminal onslaught against the Palestinian civilian population under its occupation, we are nearing a horrific toll of 100,000 Palestinian casualties. And still, there is no ceasefire, leading to more innocent victims by the day. No one should be fooled by Israel’s claims of sparing civilian lives; the facts speak for themselves.

South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to order the occupying state of Israel to immediately stop its wanton genocide campaign in Gaza.
The demand came at the closing of the first day of hearings of a case brought by South Africa against Israel at the ICJ.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor: Israel’s intensification of its military assaults on the Gaza Strip’s shelter centres is part of a declared effort to carry out its displacement plans against the Gazan people, give them the impression that there is nowhere safe for them to live within the Strip, and worsen their suffering amid the genocide that has been ongoing since 7 October
