Michigan- The American Center for Justice (ACJ) commends the ICJ ruling today on the case filed by South Africa against Israel, accusing it of committing genocide crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during its 3-month war. 

The ACJ emphasizes that while the ICJ ruling doesn't explicitly stipulate a ceasefire in Gaza, it underscores the necessity for Israel to halt genocidal acts and protect civilians. This is considered a positive step toward ending Israel's genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The ACJ calls on and urges countries, particularly those that unequivocally supported Israel during the Gaza war, with the United States of America at the forefront, to cease all forms of military and political support at the expense of the victims. We also stress the importance of addressing the plight of over 2 million Palestinians who have endured a siege for more than 17 years, subjected to various forms of genocide.
