The International Court of Justice (ICJ) directed Israel to intensify efforts to prevent harm to civilians in Gaza without mandating an immediate cease-fire. The ruling responded to South Africa's case, alleging Israel's violation of genocide laws. The ICJ urged Israel to allow more aid and address comments inciting violence. Palestinians expressed disappointment, hoping for a complete cease-fire. Israel, rejecting genocide allegations, emphasized its right to self-defense. The court's provisional measures aim to mitigate the crisis during ongoing legal proceedings. South Africa hailed it as a victory, while Israel, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, dismissed the charge as false and outrageous.
