In remarks disseminated via the official Facebook account of the Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is fighting "Hamas" and not the Palestinian population, underscoring that it does so "with a full commitment to international law."

During their trilateral summit in Aqaba today, Jordanian King Abdullah II together with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expressed warnings against the reoccupation of parts of the Gaza Strip or the establishment of secure zones within it.

The three leaders stressed the importance of continued pressure to halt the Israeli offensive on the Strip and to protect civilians. They reiterated their opposition to any Israeli plans for the displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

Last month, South Africa filed a legal suit against Israel in the International Court of Justice, accusing it of committing "genocide" in Gaza, arguing that Israeli practices represent a violation of its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

The International Court of Justice is set to begin a legal battle tomorrow to determine whether Israel's war against "Hamas" in Gaza amounts to genocide. Initial hearing sessions will revolve around South Africa's call for the court to "issue an immediate order to halt Israeli military operations."
