Saudi Arabia condemned Israel's military campaign in Gaza at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of defying international rulings and committing severe human rights violations. The Kingdom's representative, Mohamed Saud Alnasser, stated that Israel "continues to ignore the court's orders" and insisted that "there is no justification for Israel's violations in Gaza".

Israel's actions in Gaza have resulted in massive civilian casualties, extensive destruction of civilian infrastructure, and displacement of the overwhelming majority of the population. The International Court of Justice has taken note of the widespread devastation and loss of life, highlighting the need for Israel to comply with international law.

The ICJ hearings are part of broader efforts to assess whether Israel has complied with international legal responsibilities in its conduct during the war on Gaza. South Africa has instituted proceedings against Israel under the Genocide Convention, citing alleged violations of obligations to prevent and punish genocide.

The court has indicated provisional measures, requiring Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide, ensure basic services and humanitarian assistance, and preserve evidence related to allegations of genocide. Israel must submit a report to the court on measures taken to give effect to the order within one month.
