ICJ genocide case outrageous says Netanyahu, and vows Israel will press ahead

After the ruling, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the fact that the court was willing to discuss the genocide charges was a “mark of shame that will not be erased for generations”, and he vowed to press ahead with the war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will “continue to do what is necessary” to defend itself, following a ruling from the top UN court that harshly criticised Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The International Court of Justice stopped short on Friday of ordering a ceasefire in Gaza in a genocide case filed by South Africa.
