In a highly anticipated ruling, the International Court of Justice at The Hague has found that there is a "real and imminent risk" that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and supported "at least some" of the provisional measures South Africa had requested when it brought the case in order to rein in Israel's military assault. Though the ruling falls short of calling for an immediate ceasefire, analysts say it is nevertheless a significant milestone. We discuss the "unprecedented" decision by the World Court with a panel of experts: Palestinian human rights attorney Diana Buttu, genocide scholar Raz Segal and scholar of colonialism Mahmood Mamdani. "It becomes imperative upon the world community to now act," says Buttu. "This is the beginning of a process of isolating Israel," adds Segal.
