The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants welcomed the "International Court's decision to issue new temporary precautionary measures within the case brought by South Africa against Israel before the court, accusing it of committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and violating its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide."
It affirmed in a statement the "importance of the court's decision to allow humanitarian aid to stop the unprecedented famine and humanitarian disaster that contradicts all human and moral values."
The ministry also called on the international community to take "immediate measures to stop the war on the Gaza Strip, halt Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, and implement Security Council Resolution 2728, in addition to the full and complete implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701, which guarantees calm and stability along Lebanon's southern borders and halts Israeli attacks and violations."
