In a post on X, Human Rights Watch issued a call on Sunday for the international community to implement sanctions on "Israel" due to the regime's failure to comply with court orders from the ICJ regarding the prevention of committing acts of genocide.

"States must impose sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel, to compel it to comply with the order issued by the International Court of Justice," the organization wrote, noting that "Tel Aviv" has failed to comply with the court's orders and has not worked to deliver aid and basic services to Gaza's residents.

In late January of this year, the ICJ issued orders for "Israel" to take all measures to prevent acts of genocide. It further requested that the Israeli army refrain from any acts of genocide and prevent the issuing of statements inciting acts of genocide.

The ICJ also requested that measures be taken to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and to refrain from disposing of any evidence that could be used in the case filed against it.

In a statement published on February 26, the director of the organization's Palestine branch, Omar Shakir, said that the Israeli regime "is starving Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians, putting them in even more peril than before the World Court’s binding order," noting that the regime "has simply ignored the court’s ruling, and in some ways even intensified its repression, including further blocking lifesaving aid."

"Israel’s ground forces are able to reach all parts of Gaza, so Israeli authorities clearly have the capacity to ensure that aid reaches all of Gaza," Shakir said.

"Failure to ensure Israel's compliance puts the lives of millions of Palestinians at risk and threatens to undermine the institutions charged with ensuring respect for international law and the system that ensures civilian protection worldwide," he added.

On this note, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that over 31,000 people have been martyred and over 73,000 have been injured since the start of the genocide. The actual death toll is known to be much higher, given the number of missing people.

Over the past 24 hours, the regime committed a total of 9 massacres, resulting in the martyrdom of 92 people.
