Following a request from South Africa on May 10 citing "changed circumstances" and "new facts," the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to take steps to prevent genocide in Gaza, punish calls for genocide, ensure humanitarian aid, and preserve evidence related to alleged crimes. However, the court did not grant South Africa's request to halt Israel's military operations in Gaza.The South African case against Israel was filed in December 2023 and was subsequently joined by Nicaragua, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, and Colombia. The ICJ's preliminary ruling demands Israel to prevent acts under the Genocide Convention and to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza.

The Gaza health ministry reports that over 41,000 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, have been killed in the ongoing Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip, which began in October 2023. Hundreds more have also been reported killed in the occupied West Bank.

"This case will continue until the court makes a finding. While the case is in progress, we hope that Israel will abide by the court’s provisional orders issued to date," the African country's presidency said in a statement.
