Clare Short’s assertion (“Britain’s legal advice on the Gaza war should be published”, Letters, April 8) that the “International Court of Justice says there is a plausible case for a finding of genocide against Israel” is in fact erroneous. Former ICJ president Joan E Donoghue said the court had not decided that there was a plausible claim that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. In an interview with the BBC, she said there had been misreporting in the press and what the court did find is that there was a plausible right to present the claim and there was a risk of irreparable harm to Palestinian civilians.
