The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has said it will announce on Friday whether it will order emergency measures against Israel after South Africa filed a case accusing Israel of genocide in its assault on Gaza.
In its order, the ICJ will not deal with the main question of whether Israel is committing genocide, but will look at possible emergency measures requested by South Africa to restrain Israel's actions.
If the ICJ does decide on issuing emergency measures, it is not bound to order exactly the actions South Africa requested. Such measures are intended to prevent a dispute from getting worse while the court looks at the full case, which could take several years.
