<p>The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor called on Saturday for
all member states of the International Court of Justice ICJ to sever all
forms of political, economic, and military relations with "Israel" due
to its blatant violation of the court's decisions calling for the
cessation of genocide in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>This call was based on the belief that the continuation of these
relations constitutes support and endorsement of an Israeli violation of
the International Court of Justice's decision. Such support, the
observatory said, encourages the occupation entity to persist in its
genocidal actions against the Palestinian people.</p>

<p>EuroMed also condemned "Israel's" repeated violations of the court's
order, as well as its breaches of the Genocide Convention ratified by
"Israel."</p>
<p>The organization based its assessment of "Israel's" compliance with
the court's decision on key indicators, including genocide, killing
members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm,
imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing
births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group, and
publicly inciting genocide.</p>
<p>Since the issuance of the ICJ's decision, the Israeli occupation has
killed more than 3,847 Palestinians, including 1,306 children and 807
women, in addition to injuring around 5,119 Palestinians.</p>

<p>The latest records bring the total number of martyrs since October 7 to 38,067 - <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/day-138--29-313-martyred--69-333-injured-in-gaza">29,606 declared</a> martyred and over 8,000 individuals under the rubble and missing assumed dead, the organization added.</p>
<p>EuroMed called for decisive international pressure to immediately and
rapidly deliver necessary humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, to stop
the spread of famine in the Strip, and to press for the entry of
international and UN investigative committees to prevent the destruction
of evidence related to the crimes committed by "Israel."</p>

<h2>UN experts: Arms exports to "Israel" must stop</h2>
<p>More than 30 independent UN experts said that any transfer of <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel-s--arms-industry-benefits-from-brutal-military-occup">arms or ammunition</a> to "Israel" for use in Gaza is likely to violate international humanitarian law and must stop immediately.</p>
<p>According to the United Nations, parties to the Arms Trade Treaty
have obligations to refuse the export of weapons if they know that they
will be used to commit international crimes or if there is a substantial
risk that such weapons will be used to commit serious violations of
international humanitarian law.</p>
<p>The watchdogs added that such transfer of arms and ammunition is
prohibited even if the exporting state does not intend for the weapons
to be used in violation of the law or is certain that they will be used
in that way, as long as there is a clear risk of that happening.</p>
