AMSTERDAM, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will rule on Friday whether or not they will grant emergency measures against Israel following accusations by South Africa that the Israeli military operation in Gaza is a state-led genocide. The United Nations’ top court issued a statement on Wednesday saying the 17-judge panel will hand down its ruling in court on Jan. 26 at 1200 GMT.
Despite the fantastically thorough case made by South Africa, I don’t have much hope for this ruling. Israel has friends in high places and has already been given carte blanche to do to the Palestinians as they wish.
