Israel may be in trouble with their invasion of Gaza, as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is hearing arguments about the conflict and it is not looking good for them. Over 50 countries have made statements in the case against Israel's occupation of Gaza since the issue came to the ICJ, which is the top court of the United Nations. Officials are confident that the court will rule against it, but this has no relation to South Africa's separate case concerning genocide against Palestinians. This was filed a while ago, and the judges ruled last month that Israel should take steps to prevent genocide against Palestinians. However, the judges did not mention if genocide was actually taking place or not. In this case, at least 10 countries have confirmed that they believe that it is completely illegal, with many more expected to make similar arguments. The judges of the World Court are expected to issue an opinion in about 6 months, as the entire case is a long, complicated process. The court has no power to enforce their rulings, but ignoring them can bring massive political backlash upon the country whose interests have been threatened.
