The two highest courts in the world now have open cases against the state of Israel and its current leadership. The United States couldn’t care less.

A provisional order for Israel to withdraw from Rafah would provide a clear legal standard the United States would be obliged to follow.

The Massachusetts senator warned the International Court of Justice will likely find Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The judges’ provisional ruling dismissed almost every objection—moral, technical, procedural—thrown up by the Israeli defense team.

Lawyers for Israel defended the country’s bombardment of Gaza with a polite, legal form of blackmail.

South Africa’s claim that Israel is committing genocide may take years to adjudicate. But another Hague court—that’s also looking at Hamas—can move much faster.
