South Africa resumes legal action against Israel
South Africa has initiated legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice, presenting a file proving Tel Aviv’s non-compliance with the court’s decisions related to protecting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This includes the provisional measures issued by the court in 2024 to prevent attacks and facilitate aid access. Although the court has kept the case open and scheduled hearings until 2029, Israel’s lack of compliance reflects the court’s failure to enforce its rulings on the ground due to limited tools and weak international solidarity—especially as Israeli interest in international law diminishes under the current US administration. This step represents an attempt to increase pressure on Israel, but don’t expect immediate results, as Palestinians are more reliant on regional and international support, even though they are aware that the court does not have immediate enforcement powers.
