It should be noted that the votes on these measures were nearly unanimous among the 17 judges who considered them. Even Israel’s own ad hoc judge voted against his country on a couple of counts.

Interesting to note that France's and Germany's response has been has been more moderate than previous declarations during the last few months, backing the idea that this case could chill Europe's overall support for Israel.

I'll also remind that this was a provisional ruling ordering several mandates to minimize harm against civilians and provide material support for them, but not a ceasefire. They still have to rule on whether Israel is causing a genocide and consider the rest of South Africa's requests, which will most likely not be discussed until the end.
