The judgement by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) was not a knockout victory for either side.
South Africa brought an accusation of genocide against Israel.
Israel knew it needed to do everything in its power to ensure there was no finding of genocide.
South Africa came to The Hague with two aims: to have a finding of genocide made against Israel and, as a result, for the ICJ to order an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Neither of these things happened.

Human rights groups say Australian government must act after ICJ ruling on allegation against Israel
The Australian government has been "put on notice" by several human rights organisations following the top UN court ruling that South Africa's accusation Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people is "plausible".

Amy Goodman interviews Human Rights Watch’s Omar Shakir
Israel is deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food and fuel in Gaza, prompting Human Rights Watch to accuse the occupation of utilizing starvation as a weapon of war. Human Rights Watch's Israel and Palestine director, Omar Shakir, says 97% of the groundwater in Gaza is unfit for human consumption after the destruction of pipelines and treatment sources, the rejection of humanitarian aid and the collapse of the medical system under incessant bombing, leading to mass dehydration and contagious disease. Shakir calls on the international community to condemn Israel's actions and to increase pressure on U.S. support in particular. "The United States and Israel are isolated in the international community," Shakir says. "The use of double standards in Israel and Palestine harms civilians all over the world."
