The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a ruling declaring Israel's occupation of Palestinian land and its apartheid system unlawful. The ruling has significant implications, as it establishes an international legal obligation for states to engage in boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel until the occupation ends. Legal scholar John Reynolds emphasized the importance of this ruling, noting that it mandates states to penalize Israel. The ICJ's assessment also highlights the disparity in the enforcement of international law, pointing out that the so-called rules-based international order often fails to apply the law equally.
