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.

Long and thin, goes to far in, and does not please the Ladies. Short and thick does the trick, and brings out proper Babies.

Come again.

You don't need a big penis if you can breathe through your ears and have a long tongue.

US intelligence casts doubt on Israeli claims of UNRWA-Hamas links, report says Intel report says some accusations that aid workers participated in Hamas attacks credible but could not be independently verified https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/22/us-intelligence-unrwa-hamas

I understand what you mean but that is for another time, and nothing to do with this topic.

I've no doubt that South Africa will respond asap

I spent a lot of time going over both the written and verbal statements and I'm now questioning a lot about China and what us the great unwashed are told by western governments and mass media.

My bad, found this part from the original Order of the 26th January 2024: Regarding the provisional measure requested by South Africa that Israel must submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to its Order, the Court recalls that it has the power, reflected in Article 78 of the Rules of Court, to request the parties to provide information on any matter connected with the implementation of any provisional measures it has indicated. In view of the specific provisional measures it has decided to indicate, the Court considers that Israel must submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month, as from the date of this Order. The report so provided shall then be communicated to South Africa, which shall be given the opportunity to submit to the Court its comments thereon.

30 days has past, waiting patiently for the report. The State of Israel shall submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month as from the date of this Order.

The proverbial is going to hit the fan after China's contribution at the ICJ hearing on the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. Written statement of China: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/186/186-20230725-wri-21-00-en.pdf Video/YouTube from the Guardian News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwq7jfJfwOI&ab_channel=GuardianNews

Laugh all you like, you did post a link and a screenshot but you only highlight what you want, would you like me to apologise for pointing out your cherry picking, or what?

More cherry picking. So you ignore this part: and urged the parties to refrain from depriving the civilians of life saving services and humanitarian assistance. Topic noted.

Yet more cherry picking, you highlight the part about hostages and ignore the whole text, which says in full: Further to the text, the Council called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups, especially children, and urged the parties to refrain from depriving the civilians of life saving services and humanitarian assistance.

My links are for the Official Documents. Still Cherry picking again, and your link also said at the end: For information media. Not an official record.

Found these 2 resolutions for you, both mention the unconditional release of hostages do you just want to cherry pick that part and ignore the rest? 15thNovember2023 https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n23/359/02/pdf/n2335902.pdf?token=33sNgqVQR7hjSMlrlw&fe=true 21stDecember2023 https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n23/424/87/pdf/n2342487.pdf?token=QeeDvwXvvy2lxva6gO&fe=true

What the ICJ actually said: The Court deems it necessary to emphasize that all parties to the conflict in the Gaza Strip are bound by international humanitarian law. It is gravely concerned about the fate of the hostages abducted during the attack in Israel on 7 October 2023 and held since then by Hamas and other armed groups, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. It then went on to say: The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular: (a) killing members of the group; (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and (d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; It then said: The State of Israel shall ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit any acts described in point 1 above; All the above taken from the ICJ Website: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20240126-ord-01-00-en.pdf So, dear Brian, what comes first the Chicken or the Egg?

Love to see the hostages released, very easy to do for Israel, a full ceasefire and proper negotiations for a Palestinian State.

You can think that I suppose, but overall it doesn't help the US on the International stage, having watched the majority of the statements made at the ICJ this week.

Arab Americans feel 'a bone-deep sense of betrayal.' And they want Joe Biden defeated in 2024 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/02/17/biden-israel-support-cost-arab-american-vote/72506837007/

The US are beginning to feel the International pressure from this: THE HAGUE, 9 February 2024. The International Court of Justice will hold public hearings on the request for an advisory opinion in respect of the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, from Monday 19 to Monday 26 February 2024 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the Court. Fifty-two States and three international organizations have expressed their intention to participate in the oral proceedings before the Court.

Saudi Arabia have just finished their presentation to the ICJ, chances of normalising relations with Israel now non-existent by the look of it, now on a 10 minute coffee break. https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k13/k13jfq7uqb

Whatever, I called the OP flannel, as it's a media piece from the Times of Israel and explained why in my opening post. Your consistent one sided view is waffle imho.
