Israeli officials are concerned the International Court of Justice (ICJ) could charge the state with genocide in Gaza, Haaretz reported on Monday.
According to the Israeli daily, a senior legal expert dealing with the case has warned the military leadership that there is a "real danger" the court will issue an injection calling on Israel to halt its military action in Gaza.
The military and the state attorney's office are now preparing to deal with the complaint filed by South Africa on Friday. A hearing will take place Monday at the foreign ministry. @israel

Not to be too cynical, but what does Israel care if they're charged with genocide? The US will keep sending the Zionists bombs to drop on Gaza and ammunition to kill the people on the West Bank with or give them money to buy them from Turkey who has a ton of US weaponry.
I'd like to see the US charged with genocide, personally, for supporting the Zionists. This is what happens when you have an actual Zionist as Secretary of State.
@Threadbane@Sherifazuhur@israel that is a VERY good question. I don't know what a ruling in the ICJ against Israel would mean. However, the Israelis seem to be worried about it which is telling. I don't know how binding it is, but it will certainly give western middle powers who until now have timidly backed away from calling for a ceasefire, the legal backing to support one. I still wonder what kind of leverage #AIPAC and their non-US equivalents have over nation states.
