The ICJ decision gave new strength to South Africa’s groundbreaking accomplishment — demolishing the taboo against holding Israel accountable for its crimes. As South Africa’s foreign ministry put it, “Today marks a decisive victory for the international rule of law and a significant milestone in the search for justice for the Palestinian people.”
This will do nothing as America doesn’t recognize the ICC or any courts that can find an American guilty abroad.
Its allies do though, as does their population. This is a big blow against Israeli and US public image.
