PRETORIA - Israel has ignored the ruling by the U.N.'s top court last week by killing hundreds more civilians in a matter of days in Gaza, South Africa’s foreign minister said Wednesday, adding that her country has asked why an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been issued in a case South Africa filed at the separate International Criminal Court.

Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor said South Africa would "look at proposing other measures to the global community" in a bid to stop Israel killing civilians during its war in Gaza against Hamas, but didn't go into details.

Palestinians in Gaza say Israel not abiding with ICJ order

Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave accused Israel of not abiding by the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) ruling on South Africa's genocide case, which explicitly ordered Israel to prevent genocidal acts in the Gaza Strip.

On Friday, 26 January, the ICJ in The Hague delivered a ruling on South Africa's genocide case against Israel, ordering Israel to take all possible measures to prevent genocide acts in Gaza and demanding Israel to report on implementing the measures within one month.

The court, however, did not order Israel to suspend its military operations in Gaza, one of the main requests submitted by South Africa, while also calling on Hamas to release all Israeli hostages.

But on the ground, for many Palestinians in Gaza, the Israeli army forces are still committing genocidal crimes without taking into account the decision of the ICJ. These sentiments were shared by Palestinians in Gaza to The New Arab.
