Many Western analysts are hailing the ICJ ruling as a historic victory, many Palestinians don’t agree.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We, the sons and daughters of this land, remain resolute in our cause. We do not seek acquittal from the International Court, nor do we wait for the international community’s approval to exercise our right to resist and liberate any occupied territory, especially from Israel and foreign military forces.”<\/em>
\n— Myriam Charabaty<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

29 Jan 2024<\/em> – The ruling issued by the ICJ ordered six provisional measures including for Israel to refrain from acts under the Genocide convention, prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to genocide, and take immediate and effective measures to ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza. The Court also ordered Israel to preserve evidence of genocide and to submit a report to the Court, within one month, of all measures taken in line with its order.<\/p>\n

There have been mixed reactions with widescale approval from many Western analysts and disappointment and anger from Palestinians and regional analysts. I will try to unpack both sides.<\/p>\n

Palestine and the region responds<\/h3>\n

Last night I spoke with Lebanese journalist and analyst Marwa Osman and we covered much of what I will write about but please do listen to Marwa\u2019s opinion which is based on years of Resistance against the Zionist colonialist project that threatens the whole region.<\/p>\n
