JND today is expected to make a decision on Israel's Gaza war

The International Court of Justice is expected to issue a new ruling on Israel's conduct in its war in Gaza at 1500 Friday, after the US voiced concern for Israel's growing diplomatic isolation among countries that traditionally supported it.

Amid speculation that the JND could order the ban on Israel's offensive, a second-high global court -- an international criminal court identified three judges who would hear a request for arrest warrants against Hamas leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant -- reports The Guardian, broadcasts the Express.

Last week South Africa asked the JND, which is located in The Hague and also known as the World Court, to order the detention of Israel's offensive in Gaza and Rafah in particular, saying it was necessary to ensure the survival of the Palestinian people.

JND's decisions have been ignored in the past, as the UN's top legal body has no way of implementing its decisions, but they have international weight. A decision against Israel could increase its political isolation following a series of obstacles this week.

Israel suggested it would oppose any order to stop the war.

“No power on Earth will prevent Israel from protecting its citizens and following Hamas to Gaza”, a spokesman, Avi Hyman, told reporters Thursday.

Recent legal movements come after Israeli media reported that the Israeli Defence Forces had concluded that the troops had broken regulations “when they killed a UN staff member and injured a second last week in Gaza, when a vehicle with the UN note was promoted and hit with a fears.

Israel has faced growing problems on the international stage in recent days. On Wednesday, after Ireland, Norway and Spain said they would recognise the Palestinian state, American national security adviser Jake Sullivan expressed concern about Israel's isolation.

“As a country that stands firm in Israel's defence at international forums like the United Nations, we have certainly seen a chorus of growing voices, including voices that have previously been in Israel's favour, move in another direction. This is disturbing to us because we do not believe this contributes to Israel's security or long-term vitality... So this is something we've discussed with the Israeli government”.
