Pending a final verdict, South Africa filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which ordered the military operation to be halted as an interim measure pending a final ruling. We are calling on Israel to order an immediate halt.
Regarding this case, the International Court of Justice announced on the 24th that it will make a decision on the 26th whether to issue interim measures ordering the suspension of the operation.

They claimed legitimacy by saying that it was aimed at Hamas.
