The preliminary judgement doesn't attempt to solve the entire Israel Palestine conflict. That is a future judgement, perhaps. But, the core issue that the preliminary judgement seeks to solve is the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine. There is no ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Israel, only a political one.
As the International Court of Justice points out, ending this humanitarian catastrophe is the most urgent priority – even more urgent than Bibi's desire to keep it going for his own reasons.
Thus, when Israel stops exploding Palestinian civilian men, women and children, stops exploding aid workers, stops blocking and exploding aid, stops destroying hospitals and patients and homes and families, stops displacing millions of civilians and takes proper responsibility for their health (Israel claims Gaza and the West Bank as theirs, after all, making Palestinians their charge), _that_ will be a time to discuss the issue of the broader conflict. But first we must stop the ongoing slaughter of innocent civilian Palestinians.
tl;dr: the world ending genocide of Palestinians > Israeli political desires.
