    it's not a criminal case yet. this is the pre-trial where they're just determining whether South Africa's case has merits and whether any injunctions need to be issued. the criminal case will take years. the hope is that they find the case to have merit and order Israel to cease military operations in Gaza until the end of the criminal case at the ICC.

      Ah, that makes sense, coolio. Though I guess it's still likely Israel won't abide by any such order.

        yeah definitely not. and the US can threaten to invade the Hague even if ICC charges are brought. so it's very much cool-zone
