International leaders hail ICJ ruling in Israel genocide case as ‘decisive victory’

In response to the court‘s decision, Riyadh al-Maliki, Palestinian minister of foreign affairs, said that Palestine „welcomes“ the order and that it is an „important reminder that no state is above the law“.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also welcomed the court‘s decision, and called „on all parties to implement the interim measures it has decreed“.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the injunction was „valuable,“ and that Turkey „will continue to follow the process to ensure that war crimes committed against innocent Palestinian civilians do not go unpunished.“
