While reading the ruling, the court said that Israel must ensure that its forces do not commit genocide and take measures to improve the humanitarian situation. It also said that Israel must submit a report to the court within one month on what it is doing to implement the order. However, during the session, the International Court of Justice refrained from issuing a ceasefire order in Gaza, but demanded that Israel try to contain the death and damage. The court said that at least some of the rights sought by South Africa in its genocide lawsuit against Israel's war on Gaza were "reasonable." The ruling issued by the International Court of Justice on Friday does not address the main accusation in the case, which is whether there was genocide, but will focus on the urgent intervention sought by South Africa.
