    The United Nations’ top court will issue a decision Friday on South Africa’s request for interim orders in a genocide case against Zionist entity, including that Israel halt its offensive in Gaza.

    The decision is a preliminary stage of a case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice alleging that Zionist entity’s military action in its war with Hamas in Gaza amounts to genocide. Zionist entity strongly rejects the accusation and has asked the court to throw out the case.
    The court announced the timing of the interim ruling on Wednesday.
     
    Zionist entity launched its massive air and ground assault on Gaza on Oct. 7 and killed some 1,200 people, mainly civilians.

    Zionist entity often boycotts international tribunals and U.N. investigations, saying they are unfair and biased. But the Zionist entity sent a high-level legal team to two days of hearings earlier this month — a sign of how seriously they regard the case and and an indication of likely concerns that any court order to halt operations would be a major blow to their international standing.
