The International Court of Justice can’t stop Israel from defeating Hamas in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a news conference on Saturday night.
“No one will stop us – not The Hague, not the Axis of Evil, and no one else,” Netanyahu said as he referenced the ICJ as well as Iran and its proxies.
He spoke as the ICJ was hearing a request by South Africa to order Israel to halt its war against Hamas in Gaza.
South Africa had appealed to the ICJ to intervene, claiming Israel violated the 1948 Convention on the Prevention of Genocide. Both South Africa and Israel had argued in front of the court at The Hague in the Netherlands on Thursday and Friday.
Israel has said that Hamas is guilty of genocide for its October 7 attack against the Jewish state in which it massacred over 1,200 people and seized another 250 captive
There is no legal case for a finding of genocide, as many western nations have stated, but the UN has a nearly unblemished record of tossing facts and law aside to go after Israel, so no one can be sure what the ICJ will say, but it is only an advisory opinion, so it will have only propaganda value.
