🇪🇸Spain: “We welcome the decision of the ICJ and ask the parties to apply the provisional measures it has decreed.” (NB: ICJ measures are all addressed to Israel, not “parties”, though it does also call for release of Israeli hostages.)

🇩🇪Germany - quite measured in comparison to earlier statement against S Africa case.
ICJ’s provisional measures “are binding under international law. Israel must abide by them.”
🇫🇷France - the most muddled one so far: supporting ICJ and int’l law but fails to urge implementation of the measures.
Also: you can’t argue for narrower interpretation of genocide after you’ve argued for broader one in the Myanmar case
