I acknowledge your post on https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule28 The last couple of paragraphs state: Loss of protection due to medical units State practice establishes the exception under customary international law that the protection of medical units ceases when they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy. This exception is provided for in the First and Fourth Geneva Conventions and in both Additional Protocols.[37] It is contained in numerous military manuals and military orders.[38] It is also supported by other practice.[39] While the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols do not define “acts harmful to the enemy”, they do indicate several types of acts which do not constitute “acts harmful to the enemy”, for example, when the personnel of the unit is armed, when the unit is guarded, when small arms and ammunition taken from the wounded and sick are found in the unit and when wounded and sick combatants or civilians are inside the unit.[40] According to the Commentary on the First Geneva Convention, examples of acts harmful to the enemy include the use of medical units to shelter able-bodied combatants, to store arms or munitions, as a military observation post or as a shield for military action.[41] It is further specified in State practice that prior to an attack against a medical unit which is being used to commit acts harmful to the enemy, a warning has to be issued setting, whenever appropriate, a reasonable time-limit and that an attack can only take place after such warning has remained unheeded.[42] These procedural requirements are also laid down in the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols.[43] Trying to be neutral here, is there any independent evidence, apart from IDF or Hamas claims?

Article 8 of the Rome statute, which established the international criminal court (ICC) in The Hague, defines a long list of war crimes including “intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected”.

No reaction from Israel, but that's OK because the U.S. want a reformed P.A. to govern Gaza once the war is over. I think someone needs to ask the Palestinians in Gaza what they want, maybe a free and fair election of all Palestinians in the Occupied Territories including Gaza.

State of play: Israeli Minister Benny Gantz said on Wednesday that "there are initial signs that point to a possibility of making progress towards a deal." A senior Israeli official said that from what Israel knows, Hamas provided Egypt with an "oral response" to the Israeli position and agreed to "minor adjustments" in its demands. But the official said the new Hamas response doesn't point to a breakthrough. Hamas has not publicly detailed this week's talks in Cairo. The senior Israeli official said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still hasn't signed off on sending an Israeli delegation to Paris for the Friday meeting. The official stressed that some members of the negotiation team will not go to the meeting if Netanyahu orders them only to listen and not negotiate, as he did for the last meeting attended by an Israeli delegation earlier this month. https://www.axios.com/2024/02/21/gaza-hostage-israel-hamas-cia-biden

Israel Not Complying with World Court Order in Genocide Case Failing to Ensure Basic Services, Aid https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/26/israel-not-complying-world-court-order-genocide-case

And, your problem is?

Fact, and I'm an anti Zionist bloke, Jews are fine.

And hostages/prisoners who escaped/released by Hamas are killed by the IDF even though they have a white flag and shout out in Hebrew

Lol, so you're now going full-time Mystic Meg

You have a link to "most people are sick of these hate marches that are allowed every week than a war at the other side of the world."

Right then, let me be clear, I want a legal answer on all of the current questions before the ICJ, as they are the World Court.

And I've given you an answer.

No idea, not up to me or anybody else, up to the Court, on both counts.

Anti-Zionist actually, but as their the biggest fanboys, I can live with that.

Progress made in hostage talks after U.S. presents new proposal, sources say: More Zionist propaganda, to make them look good, imho.

Anybody can make a mistake, said the Dalek, as it climbed off the dustbin.

Apologies, got my dates mixed up.

I think you'll find if you're not in an Israeli uniform you're cannon fodder in Gaza, even Israeli hostages with white flags get eliminated.

Israel showing utter contempt to the ICJ by sending in the report 3 days late, I hope there will be a consequences on this.

History has everything to do with this conflict. Israel has had control of a population of people, the Palestinians/Arabs since 1948, treated them appallingly by most civilised peoples standards of today. Moving forward to this so called modern era where Social Media is available Worldwide the loss of political and media control by the powers that be has gone, and people all over the world can see what is happening in real time, and are disgusted by it.

Norway's turn yesterday, and they went full Anti-Israel. https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/186/186-20240209-pre-01-00-en.pdf Full Norwegian transcript, on pages 20 to 32: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/186/186-20240223-ora-01-00-bi.pdf

Thanks for your input, but I'd rather wait for the response from South Africa and the ICJ, if and when Israel submits a report to the Court on all measures taken, the report was due yesterday.
