The International Court of Justice repudiates Israel’s denials. It outlines the devastating harm to Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the senior Israeli government officials who encouraged it, ordering provisional measures to prevent plausible genocide.

Pro-Palestinian activists react near the International Court of Justice, or World Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, Friday, Jan. 26, 2024. The United Nations' top court has decided not to throw out genocide charges against Israel for its military offensive in Gaza. That is part of a preliminary decision in a case that goes to the core of one of the world's most intractable conflicts. (AP Photo/Patrick Post)
