The UN's top court stops short of ordering a cease-fire in Gaza but demands that Israel limit deaths. The case was filed by South Africa accusing Israel of genocide.
Such provisional measures issued by the world court are legally binding,
That’s impossible. Israel is a country, there’s no legal authority above that. That’s what “sovereign” means when we refer to a country as one.
It’s entirely possible Israel has signed treaties whereby it agrees to follow World Court orders, but if it violated said treaties, that wouldn’t be illegal (since Israel would give itself permission to do so, making it legal under Israeli law). Legality isn’t really defined when countries interact with each other.

This is semantics. International law is a concept. You can say that disobeying the treaties you mentioned is illegal.
