Natasha Hausdorff, The Telegraph, July 20, 2024 The virulently anti-Israel Advisory Opinion handed down by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday, arguing Israel’s “policies and practices” have breached international law, is just that: an opinion. It does not have legally binding status. The value of that opinion is ultimately undermined by the weakness of […]
Elliot Abrams Council on Foreign Relations, July 20, 2024 “The hostility toward Israel, the sheer malice, the desire to do harm, is clearly visible in paragraph 278, where nations are urged not to have embassies in Jerusalem and not to allow trade in items from the West Bank.” On Friday, July 19, the International […]

Shlomo Maital Jerusalem Post, Feb. 9, 2024 “Is the ICJ political? Yes. A resounding yes because the ICJ judges are each sent by their country and, as such, are expected to reflect the policies and values of their respective nations.” The International Court of Justice convened on Thursday, January 11, in The Hague, Netherlands. Then […]

Arthur Lenk Jerusalem Post, Feb. 9, 2024 “Although it regularly called for a two-state solution, South Africa increasingly tilted its relationship toward the Palestinians and away from any engagement with Israel. It has left behind any aspirations of Mandela or Mbeki to positively impact a Middle East peace process.” South Africa initiated a […]

Isaac Herzog, WSJ, Feb. 11, 2024 In these dark days for Israel and the civilized world, there are many things that keep me up at night. One is that the international legal system has begun to ignore reality and truth. Justice is unrecognizable, and noble ideals are perverted by terrorists and cynics. These feelings were […]
Gerald Steinberg, Jerusalem Post, Feb. 2, 2024 The immoral and absurd complaint brought by South Africa – falsely charging Israel with genocide – and the majority’s incoherent preliminary decision highlight the deeply problematic nature of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and related institutions. The central problem is legitimacy, or rather its absence, in the case of […]
Philologos, Mosaic Magazine, Feb. 1, 2024 The International Court of Justice’s January 19 decision that found, by a vote of 15-2, accusations of genocide against Israel sufficiently “plausible” to warrant a thorough investigation is one more hardly needed bit of evidence of how foolish and detached from reality supposedly intelligent legal minds can be. […]

IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE ICJ Asks Israel to Prevent Genocide, Doesn’t Order End To Gaza War: Rina Bassist and Tovah Lazaroff, Jerusalem Post, Jan. 26, 2024 — The International Court of Justice in the Hague (ICJ) issued Friday a provisional order that Israel must refrain from acts that could possibly lead to genocide but fell short […]
Jess Bravin WSJ, Jan. 26, 2024 “Hamas, which the U.S. and European Union classify as a terrorist organization, said the ICJ decision “opens the door to holding the enemy’s leaders accountable for these crimes before the International Criminal Court and reaffirms the rights of our Palestinian people to self-determination, the establishment of their independent state, […]
Ido Rosenzweig Times of Israel, Jan. 27, 2024 “… one cannot underestimate the damage caused to the country by the outrageous statements of politicians, commentators, public figures, and soldiers. The ICJ made it clear that these statements played a significant role in the decision to grant provisional measures because these statements help establish the possibility […]
Peter Berkowitz Real Clear Politics, Jan. 25, 2024 “South Africa’s warping of facts and law, according to Becker, comprised several elements. South Africa delegitimized Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, assigned virtually all blame for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to Israel, suppressed Hamas’ responsibility for Gaza poverty, and obscured the Israeli victims’ humanity.” Yesterday, […]
