| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, January 30, 2024. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Molar, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian |
| 0:12.3 | worldview. |
| 0:13.8 | There have been some very big developments in Israel's war against Hamas right now being |
| 0:18.5 | fought out mostly in the territory known as Gaza and the big development that took place that we need to talk about first did not take place there at all but rather in the Netherlands at the Hague. |
| 0:29.0 | It was there that the body known as the International Court of Justice on Friday handed down a |
| 0:35.3 | ruling. Now at this point that's the best thing to call it a ruling, not so much a verdict but a ruling |
| 0:40.9 | saying that it was plausible that Israel was guilty of genocide against the |

| 1:11.4 | story? Of course it's a big story. You have an international body that is deeply rooted in international law that is stating that Israel plausibly is guilty of genocide. There's so much loaded there. But we also need to recognize |
| 1:25.6 | that the court called for an immediate ceasefire, but the ceasefire hasn't |
| 1:29.7 | happened and the court's ruling was very clear, so why hasn't it happened? It's because Israel |
| 1:34.6 | is not about to listen to the International Court of Justice about whether or not it |
| 1:38.7 | will defend itself. In the immediate historical background of this is the fact that the charges against Israel were brought by another nation. |
| 1:46.5 | That nation is South Africa and South Africa brought the charges of genocide against Israel at the International Criminal Court. |
