I will argue it is a good thing for Israel too, since it’s right wing government will behave more carefully.
ah yes behave more carefully so that they don't get caught committing a genocide lmao. since everyone cut funding to UNRWA after this ruling, i don't think so. are they gonna arrest people that prevented aid trucks from coming in? are they gonna fire people that made genocidal statements? is there any sort of investigation in the military as to prevent war crimes and possible genocidal conduct? i somehow doubt after almost 4 months of doing a genocide they are suddenly going to change course.
More carefully means have less civilian casualties, which is a good thing for everyone. As for firing people - they are elected officials, I do not think it is possible to fire them, but they will shut up. Nearly every democratically elected parliament/congress has extreme members. Israel is no different. The problem is that while they are still a fringe in Israel, they are powerful fringe. This ruling helps to reduce their power. Again, a good thing for everyone, including for Israel.
I am not.
I was not referring to the whole government, only to fringe elements of it.
