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 measures can include limiting or modifying military operations, avoiding the use of explosive weapons with wide-area effects in populated areas, and avoiding and preventing the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes, among others. 

However, to establish jurisdiction at the provisional measures stage, South Africa must prove a case of violations of the Genocide Convention.

Following recent developments in the case, Germany offered to intervene on Israel's behalf at the International Court of Justice as a third party.
