42. The Geneva Conventions do not set the rules for military aid from one state to the aother.

The International Court of Justice did not rule on military aid from the US to Israel.

The International Court of Justice did not determine that Israel failed to comply with any provisional measures that it ruled on. It was a different ICJ, the International Commission of Jurists, totally unrelated to the International Court of Justice, an NGO with no legal or binding authority to rule on anything (https://www.icj.org/gaza-one-month-on-israel-fails-to-comply-with-the-order-of-the-international-court-of-justice/) that opined on Israel's non-compliance. An underwhelming event.

The Leahy Law stipulates that we shouldn't be sending offensive weapons to army units that are committing war crimes, not the countries to which those units belong. It is up to Congress to name those units and prevent them from being armed with US weapons. How it is accomplished is entirely up to the US Congress. The Congress is also the sole arbiter of how pervasive what goes on in Gaza is.
