A spokesperson for the German government said on Friday that Germany will respect the International Court of Justice's decision regarding South Africa's request for emergency measures against Israel. The ruling issued by the court today will not address the core allegation in the case—related to genocide—but will focus on the urgent intervention sought by South Africa. The spokesperson, when asked about Germany's response to the other implications of the ruling, stated, "At this stage, I will wait for the decision and will not comment on what will happen."
