Despite the ICJ ruling of a plausible genocide in Gaza, there are no noticeable impacts on the behavior of the Israeli government and the decisions of the Prime Minister. In fact, conditions only became worse. The United Nations had 164 health workers killed and 132 journalists had been killed in Gaza, more than in any other war, and two-thirds of the 31,000 killed have been women and children. The IDF left not a single functioning hospital for the thousands of injured.

The State of Israel remains undeterred from more killing with bombs and starvation. The delivery of humanitarian relief remained restricted, and in northern Gaza, hundreds of thousands remained cut off altogether. An American politician called for desperate measures such as humanitarian ships to go to the shores of Gaza, drops from the air, and more importantly a ceasefire that would enable trucks to get to north Gaza where deliveries had come to a complete stop even while bombing continued. Testimony was given on the floor of the Senate calling for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and conditions to protect innocent civilians in Gaza. Support for the protection of innocent civilians and demands to make Netanyahu accountable to standards of war and adherence to international law included a growing list of political leaders, and they were having an impact on the policies and standards imposed on Israel.
