on trial?
This is not what the organises. Its role is to establish the law.

A halt of invasion?
In 2022, the ICJ issued a condemnation on the invasion, to no consequence.

“has refrained from agreeing to ICJ jurisdiction in all the hundreds of treaties it has signed, except one: the Convention. Article 9 of the Convention stipulated that if disagreements arise between the members over the Convention’s authority or interpretation, the ICJ is the place to hear them.”

“Back then, the popular Israeli notion that we do not let gentiles judge us had not yet developed.”

Attorney Michael Sfard was interviewed earlier this week in #TelAviv about #genocide:
“South Africa’s case does not rely only on the fact that some Israel leaders have made genocidal statements. It further charges that Israel has done nothing in response to these statements: it hasn’t condemned the statements, it hasn’t dismissed from office the people who expressed them, it hasn’t opened disciplinary proceedings against them, and it certainly hasn’t opened criminal investigations.”

— #Israel will still have to explain the genocidal statements made by officials, especially cabinet ministers.

— By saying that they’re stupid?

— Yes. […] Israel will have to make a big deal out of the very minor rebuke that Netanyahu gave to Eliyahu [after the latter suggested that Israel could drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza] when he said that Eliyahu was banned from attending cabinet meetings, but Eliyahu attended them anyway. Israel will say that Netanyahu publicly condemned the statement.

Legal adviser to Israel's Foreign Ministry Tal Becker and British jurist Malcolm Shaw sit inside the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in The Hague, Netherlands. The photo was taken for Reuters as judges were hearing a request for emergency measures to order Israel to stop its military actions in Gaza.

    Rya Al on 26 Jan: I want to be surprised, but i’m not. I am sad deeply sad & angry. Once again, the global ruling class can’t bring itself to give the slightest nudge to or recognition of our humanity. Not surprising but hurts nonetheless. Let us not be blindsided & let’s stay focused on ⬇️ Quote Riya Al @RiyaAlsanah · 11 Jan Replying to @RiyaAlsanah Building a principled solidarity movement that canters building power from below remains our only salvation. It’s a hard task; one which takes conviction, strategy, & patience. It’s not a quick fix & it is not always glamorous and cool. Yet, it remains the task at hand. [end]

    "’s foreign intelligence agency, ran its own parallel operation which sought out compromising information on [the court’s preceeding chief prosecutor] Bensouda and her close family members in an apparent attempt to sabotage the ICC’s investigation. The agency’s former head, Yossi Cohen, personally attempted to “enlist” Bensouda and manipulate her into complying with Israel’s wishes […] causing the then-prosecutor to fear for her personal safety."
