The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that the International Court of Justice’s issuance of new temporary precautionary measures is international legal evidence proving that Israel has not, as usual, adhered to the first precautionary order issued by the court.

The ministry added, in a statement today, Friday, that the court’s reference to Security Council Resolution No. 2728 gives great importance from a legal standpoint to an immediate ceasefire and the highest international judicial body is convinced of the meaningful connection between stopping the war and bringing in aid.

She continued: However, Israel continues to deepen its historic rebellion against international legal resolutions and its rejection of everything issued by international political and legal bodies, and challenges the will of the international community in its continued killing of civilians, starving them, thirsting them out, and displacing them under bombardment from one place to another without shelter, refuge, or any safe place. .

She believed that the credibility of the world and its systems is at stake in a final test regarding its ability to deliver relief aid in a sustainable manner to defenseless civilians, stressing that there are no justifications for the horrific international failure to protect civilians and secure their humanitarian needs.

The Ministry stressed that Israel's insistence - as an occupying power - on preventing the entry of aid to civilians is not only a disdain for the world and its decisions and appeals, but rather evidence of its continued war on Palestinian civilians and the imposition of more deadly collective punishments on them, in the most horrific forms of genocide and displacement

She called for binding executive mechanisms, under penalty of responsibility and punishment, to force the occupation to respect the Security Council resolution and the orders of “International Justice” and implement them immediately, indicating that without this, the international community will lose its self-respect and legitimize the law of the jungle as an alternative to the force of international law, and international chaos as an alternative to world security and stability.
