ICJ orders Israel to prevent acts of genocide in Israel

So will Israel obey the ruling? And will the US condition further aid on whether or not they do? We already know that neither approved of this case before the ICJ. If they ignore it what does that say about both acting like they are above international law?

"The International Court of Justice ruled Friday that South Africa's genocide case is plausible and ordered Israel to 'take all measures within its power' to uphold its obligations under Article II of the Genocide Convention.

"The court also ordered the Israeli government to ensure its military does not commit violations of the convention in Gaza, punish those who incite genocide, immediately provide basic services and humanitarian assistance to Gazans, prevent the destruction of evidence that could show violations of international law, and submit a report to the ICJ on all steps it takes to implement the above measures."
