Panel reaction to ICJ
THE HAGUE - The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has concluded that Israel has committed some of the acts alleged by South Africa.
ICJ president, Judge Joan Donoghue says the court has found that there is a prima facie case of genocide.
The ICJ has ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent additional killing in Gaza.
That is in accordance with its Genocide Convention responsibilities.
The court called for the unconditional release of all hostages
