The International Court of Justice is about to issue a ruling on the Gaza conflict.

The ruling will be delivered at 1 p.m. Friday (Dutch time) at the International Court of Justice in a hearing expected to last about an hour. There, the UN judges will not address the core issue of whether Israel's military operations in Gaza constitute genocide, but will focus on the urgent intervention that South Africa is seeking.

Two weeks ago, South Africa accused Israel of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention, arguing that Israel's air and ground attacks were aimed at "devastation" of the population in Gaza.

For its part, Israel has rejected the allegations and asked the court to completely dismiss the genocide-related case. An Israeli government spokesperson said on Thursday (January 25) that they expect the UN High Court to "reject these fabricated and speculative allegations."
