“These attacks violate the human right to life, absent any indication that the victims posed an imminent lethal threat to anyone else at the time.”
Turkey didn’t petition the ICC, you’re thinking of the ICJ.
The ICJ is not a criminal court. It cannot arrest or prosecute individuals. It can issue legal opinions regarding disputes between states, but it cannot enforce its opinions. For example, in 2014 it ruled that Japan could not hunt whales in Antarctica yet Japan is still hunting whales there today.
Regardless, the ICJ has not yet issued a final opinion regarding Israel.
They joined the icc petition and participate in it, I didn’t say they started it.
They are also on the icj petition, yes.
Yet another thing I didn’t say and doesn’t actually matter, neat.
Also they just released decision.

Yet another thing I didn’t say
You said May 2. That article is from November.
In May, the Turkish government petitioned the ICJ to join South Africa as co-plaintiffs. Not the ICC.
In November, Turkish lawyers (not Turkey itself) provided evidence (not petitioned the court) to the ICC. The Turkish government cannot petition to join ICC prosecutors, prosecutors work alone.
they just released decision.
That’s a different ICJ decision against Israel, initiated by the UN in 2022. This decision does not address the invasion of Gaza, because it hadn’t happened yet.
There is a separate ICJ case about genocide in Gaza that Turkey petitioned to join in May, that case still has no final decision.
