📌 Summary Table

🧭 Current Legal Pathways & Next Steps

1. ICC proceedings: Potential trials if Israeli figures are arrested—unlikely while Israel remains non-cooperative.
2. Domestic accountability: Critics argue Israel’s internal investigations are insufficient to meet legal standards en.wikipedia.org+1theguardian.com+1aljazeera.comen.wikipedia.orgtheguardian.com+14aljazeera.com+14en.wikipedia.org+14.
3. ICJ case (genocide): Ongoing; a final ruling may take years, but interim measures are in place hrw.org.
4. NGO & UN evidence-gathering: Continues to build cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
5. Geopolitical resistance: Sanctions, non-cooperation, and legal pushback threaten enforcement.

👣 What’s Next?

• ICC’s next steps hinge on arrest and trial, likely years away.
• ICJ’s genocide case could produce binding rulings with global implications.
• Ongoing UN and NGO pressure may drive future legal or political action.
