- Israel received military‑related goods from at least 51 countries and territories after the ICJ’s Jan 26 2024 ruling on a plausible genocide risk in Gaza.
- International Court of Justice on Jan 26 2024 ruled there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza and ordered provisional measures, reminding all 153 signatory states of their obligations to prevent genocide.
- Al Jazeera investigation traced the weapons flow using Israeli Tax Authority import data from 2022‑2025, customs records, and FOI requests, confirming continued arms imports.
- Some of the 51 supplier countries had formally imposed arms embargoes or partially suspended supplies to Israel, yet weapons still entered.
- Gaza casualties rose to over 70,000 deaths and 171,000 injured by the October 2025 ceasefire, despite the ICJ ruling.
Why it matters: Gaza civilians continue to die while signatory states of the Genocide Convention face legal scrutiny for breaching their obligations, and arms‑exporting nations risk reputational damage and possible sanctions.
