Yesterday morning, the International Court of Justice ruled against Israel.

Following weeks of deliberation and arguments, the ICJ ruled against Israel’s request to throw out South Africa’s accusations of genocide. The court did not, however, rule that Israel had committed genocide against the Palestinians. Rather, it concluded that the Palestinians are at risk of genocide and must be protected. To this point, Judge Joan Donoghue, president of the ICJ, stated, “In the court’s view, at least some of the acts and omissions committed by Israel in Gaza appear to be capable of falling within the provisions of the genocide convention.”
South Africa had demanded a ceasefire to protect the people of Gaza. The court did not order a ceasefire, but it did issue a series of provisional measures, instructing Israel to “take all measures within its power” to prevent genocidal acts. Practically, this means that Israel must refrain from killing, injuring, or preventing the births of Palestinians. Furthermore, Israel must prevent and punish the incitement of genocide, as well as provide “urgently needed assistance to address the adverse conditions of life in Gaza.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the court’s decision, accusing the ICJ of denying Israel its right to defend itself. “The vile attempt to deny Israel this fundamental right,” he said in a video statement, “is blatant discrimination against the Jewish state, and it was justly rejected. The charge of genocide leveled against Israel is not only false, it’s outrageous, and decent people everywhere should reject it.” Netanyahu also promised to facilitate humanitarian aid and protect civilians whenever possible.
South Africa praised the ICJ’s ruling, hailing it as a “decisive victory.”
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem released a troubled statement:
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem expresses its utter dismay at the ruling of the International Court of Justice in The Hague on Friday (01/26/24) concerning South Africa’s application under the Genocide Treaty against Israel.
The world was shocked and repulsed by the evil atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent Israelis last October 7, and today’s ruling by the International Court of Justice only compounds the shock and pain of that dark day. That the wide majority of justices on the Court would sit calmly at the reading of its rulings on the eve of January 27, set aside by the international community as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, only deepens our disappointment at the world’s betrayal of the Jewish state and people. This decision inverts justice and is built on decades of the United Nations and all its forums becoming the world’s most cunning purveyors of antisemitism. These global institutions were founded with honorable intentions, including to prevent a repeat of the Nazi genocide against the Jews, yet these very forums are now placing Israel in grave danger by giving credence to these outrageous claims it is committing genocide in Gaza.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness,” warned the Hebrew prophet Isaiah (5:20). Israel is justly defending its citizens from massacres, rapes, mutilations and torture, yet it is now rebuked by the World Court, even while Hamas and other armed Palestinian militias are let completely off the hook. Nonetheless, we trust the Lord God to keep and protect Israel as He has promised (Psalm 121:4; Jeremiah 31:10).
These court orders are legally binding but difficult to enforce. For now, Israel has promised to continue its war against Hamas.
In the wake of this unfavorable ruling, we must continue to pray for the nation of Israel. Pray that God would protect the Jewish people from attacks, both physical attacks from Hamas and verbal attacks from the rest of the world. Pray that, following this ruling, America would remain a strong supporter of Israel. Above all else, pray that God would strengthen Israel in this war and bring them victory.

The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem said it well! All “WORLD” organizations ultimately have one agenda, they are spiritually corrupt and partner with the father of lies. Prayer is changing things where we cannot see!
Dear Father,
We pray for the war between Hamas and Israel to end peacefully, that the Hamas militants would leave Gaza and end the war upon your people! Father, Isaiah 54:17 says that NO WEAPON formed against us will prosper, and we claim that here and now regarding Israel. Hamas will be defeated, and the Gaza Strip will return to Israel. Psalm 5:12 reminds us that you bless the godly and surround them with your shield, so we claim that now.
We ask that the peace of your love invades the hearts and minds of the Hamas! We pray ultimately for their salvation, Father.
“Behold, he [the Lord] who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121:4 ESV
““Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands far away; say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’” Jeremiah 31:10 ESV
“The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods! Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O Lord. For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods. O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!”
Psalm 97:1-12 ESV
Lord, more evidence that only Your power can provide safety and peace for Israel. I am appalled at the false thinking toward Your nation. Lord, I ask that You keep them strong and focused
I am praying Isaiah 60 over Israel. I am praying protection over Israel. Palestinians were given THAT AREA OF Israel and they voted for their. Government to be ruled by the evil people, terrorists. This war is the Terrorists fault. May God move quickly and judge righteously. Amen
He who keeps Israel shall never slumber or sleep!
Awaken the Body of Yeshua to do the same!
Please be assured of my continuous prayers for the safety and victory for Israel.
Lord, may your wisdom empower those who know how to and can deal with your enemies regarding Israel and he Jewish people!
My response to the international Court of Justice ruling after the unspeakable atrocities committed October 7th:
For thus says the LORD of hosts, ” After glory He has sent Me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.: Zechariah 2:8
I am praying the God will step in and utterly and completely remove all enemies of Israel both in the middle east and throughout the entire world. Those enemies are becoming emboldened in their attacks and lies. God protect and rescue all those who believe and trust in You
Jesus bless Israel.
People should Read their Bibles. Poor Israel is surrounded by enemies that want to destroy All the Jews. Read the old testament and see how God helped the Jews. May God rule in Israel and be their defender. Actually the Palestinians should move to another place, Lebanon, Syria, etc. And give the land BACK to Israel. They have so much land and Israel doesn’t. May God rule in this problem and may Jesus show the Jews who He is . He is the son of God, , the only One who can forgive their sin. 🙏 Amen
“But Israel is saved by the Lord with everlasting salvation; You shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.” Isaiah 45: 17. Father God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, You are Israel’s defender and You will turn what the enemy means for evil to Israel’s good. May the accusers of Your chosen people be silenced and the truth behind their false accusations and lies be brought to the Light of Your courts of justice In Your Righteous, Victorious Name. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth a it is in Heaven.
Lord GOD, You are the just Judge of all mankind. You give justice to all who unfairly treated–that is Your promise Father God.
I pray that you would overturn this ruling.
If none of the people handing down this ruling has experienced attacks by Hamas, then they are without true understanding of the suffering of the people of Israel at the hands of Hamas who murdered their babies right in front of the Jewish parents before murdering the parents. The most evil, heinous crimes!
Therefore, they are not qualified to judge this situation and on this basis, I ask that the ruling be overturned because by this ruling they have strengthened the hands of the wicked.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
Proverbs16-12: says” It is an abomination [to God and men] for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established and made secure by righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).” Father God we understand where prayer becomes important. Through our decrees of Faith, we serve notice to the demonic operations behind these rulings that get hidden from the public views.. we call upon Your name and presence to eliminate the misconduct of the rulings of the Judge. We know and feel the injustices are the forces of wicked, we pray and ask for Your protection that God would protect the Jewish people from attacks, both physical attacks from Hamas and verbal attacks from the rest of the world. We also ask in prayer that America would still give their support to the Jesus nation, even though they are fighting a battle of wicked legislations in their nation. God we need these attempted strongholds to be broken up as they are exposed and be removed as inaccurate rulings. We decree that the believers across this nation shall be filled with a heavenly and holy boldness as their prayers come forth for Israel. God we know that the hate that is being spread are made up lies driven by the demonic spirits of darkness. We declare that boldness is being raised from the mouths of prayer warriors and the scriptures that God gave us is being utilized to bring about moral righteousness and truth. Acts 4-29 says” And now, Lord, observe their threats [take them into account] and grant that Your bond-servants may declare Your message [of salvation] with great confidence,“ AMPC- God protect the Jewish Community as America prays that they will not be intimidated allowing fear to rise up, that we rise up with a measure of boldness as a roaring 🦁.Proverbs 28-1 “ The wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion.“ Thank you Father God for Your words, we will win with YOU at our side.. The wickedness will be defeated, Israel will live long!!
Regardless of what the world thinks. Evil is just evil. God is good & I pray His will be done! I stand with Israel 🇮🇱 God’s righteousness shines brighter than the sun on Israel 🇮🇱 and the USA 🇺🇸!!! Praise Jesus our soon coming King of all Glory!
How come the International Court in The Hague didn’t bring charges against the perpetrators of Covid and the greedy manufacturers of ineffective vaccines? To Willy Billy just choose who to prosecute or who not degrades the courts respect and validity.
I pray for the true, uncompromising and unwavering Justice from the One Ture and Most High Lord Almighty. Bo, Yeshua, Bo!!!
This is exactly how this situation is supposed to be playing out. Personally, I have no respect for the U.N. In my opinion, they are a bunch of Ivory Tower idiots who have no real, legitimate understanding of anything. There is no backbone nor integrity in this liberal, deluded organization. What the members of the U.N. are doing is morally wrong, not only for Israel, but for the world at large. The entire “global community concept is wrong, and evil. Lord, please supernaturally protect the nation of Israel, as You have promised to do. In Jesus mighty name.
Psalm 83:1 “Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!”
Arise Lord God of Angels Armies, Lord Sabboath, and rescue the ‘Apple of Your Eye’ Israel!
God is fighting for Israel and He has never lost a battle, therefore righteousness will prevail and all will see the greatness of our God because He loves His people 🇮🇱 and He will protect 🇮🇱 from all her enemies. He will defeat these amalekites of today Hamas just like He did before. We will stand with 🇮🇱 and we as a Nation 🇺🇲 will rejoice in the Lord our God. 💪🏾❤️ and peace to the Nation of 🇮🇱 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The International Court of “Justice” should fear the universal court of the creator, The Judge of All the Earth, who happens to be the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Psalm 2:10-11 KJV
[10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve The LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Father may Your Name be glorified in all the earth. Bring a spirit of conviction of sin and repentance in your people and our families and our communities and our country, and restore a healthy fear of The Lord to bring about true justice and the great end-time harvest. MERCUFUL God in Yeshua The Messiah’s Name I pray, amen.
While fully supporting the Israel of Hod, their land the nation and the people, it must be said that like the kings of old Israel the present government need to be hold to account before God. Israel and the CIA supported the creation of Hamas.
It’s, true and many people are decieved. How sad and tragic that we the people are being played by the lies that are being perpetrated about what the real situation is? I pray God would expose evil and lies so they can be destroyed. I pray God would open the eyes of all people on this earth and bring us to repentance.
I don’t understand? You say “Israel supported the creation of Hamas.” ? Why would they help create an organization that wants to destroy them? an organization whose stated goal is the annihilation/genocide of all Jews? This makes no sense. Why do you think this is true? http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
Hamas stated their goal was to eliminate the jews. They attacked and killed, took hostages, and raped and tortured them. Hamas is a Terrorist group. Israel has every right to defend itself and eliminate this threat. Outside sources need to stay out of the way, and stop making demands.
Heavenly Father, we know you have a great and glorious and never-ending plan for your nation Israel. We decree that it will go forth according to your will. In Jesus name, Amen
Dear God we pray that the United States will stand strong with Israel and defend the right to defend themselves. We pray that this ruling will be seen as unjust by the rest of the world and that anti-semitism will be punished. Father God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, protect the Jewish state and the land of Israel and its people from evil, guide their government as they continue their fight against Hamas may they annihilate Hamas go with IDF go before them with them and behind them we pray all in the name of Jesus the name above all names amen.
Blame the victim for the rape? This One World Order must be defeated. The world has allowed Russia-Ukraine, even supported it, for months…….hypocrisy at its finest. I pray Israel stands strong …..they are defending as we should be at our southern border.
Hamas and the Muslim world blatantly attack and slaughter innocent Israelis and then expect the world to DEMAND ceasefires and condemn Israel for wanting to eradicate Hamas and supporting Muslim people. Total BS. Israel should go in and destroy Hamas and anyone or any country or political organization that supports such Satanic actions. To go in and kill, rape, torture, behead babies and children and then hide while equally evil supporters try to politically support these ruthless pigs and demand Israel to stop is nothing short of disgusting behavior and Israel needs to continue until Hamas and any supporters are wiped from the face of the earth in the same violent way Hamas and Isis and other of their supporters act. If Palestinians want Israel to stop then Palestinians need to quit harboring and supporting Hamas and other anti Semitic groups and report and be willing to testify against them until they are wiped away. To allow Hamas or Hamas like groups continue to hide and live among your people is the same as becoming one and proliferating their cause making you equally responsible. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve,…God or Satan. God sees our every action. The world including the US needs to quit harboring those who support non Christian faiths who support terrorists , including allowing Muslims in our Congress and Senate, doing so is detrimental to our safety and threatens our national security. Any who are found in support of these groups should be denied membership and be deported. They do not and never will accept our Christian values. Any who won’t accept Christian values should not continue to poison ours.PERIOD. In todays society we are beginning to see them poison peace in American society.
This is an Esther Moment! Father, this is the perfect opportunity for You to tell Israel to acknowledge that Your Son, Jesus Christ, is Messiah! If they will do this, they will be taking off that foolish curse that their fathers, the pharisees, put on their heads when Caesar washed his hands of Jesus’s crucifixion! PLUS, Jesus will FINALLY be able to DEFEND them, AND they will, at long last, be able to experience Your Peace, which surpasses all understanding! In Christ’s Name, AMEN ! !
Israel is God’s chosen people, and they have every right to defend themselves from evil courts and a world that is trying to be dominated by the evil one! I can reference our own congress in their evil law making and, efforts to prevent true worship of Adonai, (my Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah) in the USA by fear mongering, and false descriptions in our media. I pray for the shalom of Yerushalayim!
