Sentences:

1. While Palestinians in Gaza die in ever-increasing numbers from starvation each day and a growing number of legal scholars, aid officials and politicians have begun describing Israel’s actions as GENOCIDE, a definitive ruling on the question by the world’s top court will be a long time coming.

2. Experts on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said a judgment on whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is unlikely before the end of 2027 at the earliest, amid warnings that the international community should not use the court’s GLACIAL proceedings as an excuse to put off action to stop the killing.

3. “I think [the ICJ is] being really cautious here because of the political climate,” said Juliette McIntyre, a senior lecturer in law at the University of South Australia. “They don’t want to be accused of just running ROUGHSHOD over Israel’s procedural rights and finding that it’s committed genocide without fully giving them an opportunity to respond.”

4. Since its founding in 1945, the ICJ has always favoured CIRCUMSPECTION over speed in its role as ultimate arbitrator between nations.
