11:07 pm
which is why we need all crossing carts to be opened. reaching people in need will be the next hurdle to overcome. israel has rejected accusations that it is committing genocide and gossip on friday. it wrapped up its defense at the international court of justice in the hey. now on thursday, south africa asked the human stop court to order is real to stop its military offensive in rasa. the hearings this week and part of a broader case against the jewish state is real calls the case. a distortion of reality warriors representing south africa, made several allegations on thursday, including accusing is related, withholding humanitarian aid. israel has also denied their a michael league is the former you in special rapids here on human rights in the occupied palestinian territories, is also a professor of law at the university of western ontario in canada. i asked him,
11:08 pm
now they're both self advocate and israel have presented their sides, which it has delivered the most convincing argument, as well as probably a good answer to to your question is which side presented more independent expert evidence with respect to what they were claiming south africa on thursday made arguments of israel's genocide was continuing that more stronger provisional measures were needed and get relied upon i guess, statements made by un leaders and by international aid organizations that were, that are been involved in trying to get a, into a gas a. and their pronouncements have been that there's a famine as already broken out in the north of gas, or whether it's somewhere between $3.40 listings. and the aid was very good. look at 8 into the souls of guys aware 1.7 or 1800000 palestinians are,
11:09 pm
are huddled israel and its arguments today asserted that it was making remarkable efforts to improve a delivery into a gas a but a couldn't site and didn't cite any of the u. n. statements or any of the international organization statements. and what's the kind of evidence that the court wants to hear, that there are reliable sources or coming from them, particularly at the i c, j coming from united nations to be able to make a finding with respect to that. so that i forgot to have that kind of evidence me, israel did not. so let's take the student to the next step into the judges. will now deliberate on the request or i'm from south africa. they're expected to issue a decision in the next few weeks. so let's assume they rule in favor of south africa that they grant this request. i'm can the i c j really prevent any further? is really military action in gauze? i mean, is there any teeth to what the court decides as well? yes or no?
11:10 pm
yes, the, the provisional measures of the court would, when of ordering are legally binding on all parties to where the issue in front of the court. but you're absolutely right. but the i c j has no police has no army. it has no ability to issue warrants. i would really be reliant upon the un security council. and we know that israel has a strong alliance with the united states, which is already issued a stop. it's offensive in rough at any time soon. so isn't the symbolic meaning here that the world will be? remember what i think it will be? and i'm wondering when i think this war is finally over and we begin to look at who are the winners and losers. even of israel is victoriously victorious militarily in terms of the competing hamas politically. or militarily it's reputation with taking
11:11 pm
a significant blow, i think, given the other destruction that's occurred in the, in gaza and the huge loss of, of, of human life. remember, israel had a numerous amount of sympathy on its side in the 1st days and weeks after the terror attack on october 7th. but the old eye has disappeared at a more. and it really is very hard to think of that goes to a handful of countries who are still standing beside israel after 7 months of this war. professor michael lincoln, we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you very much for having me. at least 4 people are dead in the us state of texas. there is on thursday night a severe wind storm barreled through the city of houston, and it caused widespread damage and power outages that authorities say will take weeks to repair. mean the urologist say it's the worst storm of its kind to hit the area in more than 40 years. a severe storm turned deadly.
