Namibia has called for the immediate reform of the United Nations Security Council to address inequity and injustice, reflect present realities, and ensure the legitimacy of its decisions.

This follows the recent failure by the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution granting the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is expected to rule this Friday on whether it will grant emergency measures requested by South Africa to stop the genocidal war in Gaza.

The ICJ heard the case by South Africa against Israel and requested provisional measures to stop the carnage in Palestine.

According to a statement from the ICJ, a public sitting will take place at midday at the Peace Palace in the Hague, during which the President of the Court, Judge Joan Donoghue, will read the Court's Order.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) can order Israel to comply with provisional measures within weeks with regard to its alleged genocide in Gaza. 

However, Namibian legal experts say that for Israel to comply, more countries need to step up, pledge their support for Palestine, and stand with South Africa. 

While the determination on the merits of South Africa's application before the International Court of Justice against Israel could take years, the court can order Israel to comply with provisional measures.

The surprise attack by Hamas militants on Israel and some of its military installations has resulted in a declaration of war on Palestine, particularly the Gaza strip controlled by Hamas.

More than 1,300 people have been killed as Israel pummels Gaza, and battles continue between Hamas fighters and Israeli soldiers.

The United States and its western allies announced support for Israel and pledged further weapons and military assistance to Israel.
