On January 26, 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered its ruling on South Africa’s charges against the State of Israel regarding ”genocidal acts” in Gaza after the events of October 7. Even though the Court did not order an immediate ceasefire, its ruling did provide support for other international calls for trade sanctions and arms boycotts against Israel. At a time in which truth and facts are undermined and disregarded, how can Israel maintain a positive image in the international arena? What are the effects of the ICJ decision on the ground? What exactly are the provisional measures against Israel that were ordered, and how do they influence the continuation of the war? What is expected in the following months, and what can Israel do to contain the damage? In today’s podcast, INSS researcher Adi Kantor sits down with Amb. Arthur Lenk, formerly Israeli ambassador to South Africa (2013–2017), ambassador to Azerbaijan (2005-2009), and director of the Department of International Law at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2010-2013), and Col. (res.) Adv. Pnina Sharvit Baruch, senior researcher and head of the Law and National Security Program at INSS. Together they discuss the current legal campaign against Israel in the international community.
