Firstly I have to start with thanking you and appreciating the time you took to sign the petition and voice out your opinion.

Regarding the petition ,we have news that may be in your interest.As you may already know South Africa has taken Israel to ICJ.ICJ is the principal judicial organ of UN and it’s only power is to give advisory opinion on legal issues in comparison with ICC(International Criminal Court) which has the power to investigate and prosecute.ICJ is our first step to justice but let us not settle with whatever the decision may be.

The South African application to the ICJ argues that Israel’s military attacks are “genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of the … Palestinians in Gaza” (ICJ, 2023, Article 1). The ICJ has been tasked to “indicate provisional measures to protect the rights” of the Palestinians in Gaza, in line with 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This would generate a binding judgment that Israel would be required to adhere to, given that Tel Aviv agreed to engage with the contentious proceedings of the Court on 11th and 12th January 2024.
