Lots of people and countries are claiming Russia is committing genocide and are investigating that possibility.
Several nations and legal institutions have also classed China's actions against the Uyghur as genocidal.
However, as far as I'm aware neither Russia or China are signed up to the ICC so there's not much point in using that body to penalise them.
Israel is though and your claim there's no proof is literally true (in the sense you used the word 'proof') but there is plenty of evidence that Israel certainly has genocide very much in the forefront of their minds when members of the Israeli government suggest nuking Gaza, or creating 'no go' areas for Palestinians in recognised Palestinian areas that just so happen to be where Palestinian farmers grow and harvest food. Israeli historian of the Holocaust Omer Bartov warned that statements made by top Israeli officials "could easily be construed as indicating a genocidal intent."

Israelis are the real victims of genocide in this conflict, as is literally the only possible relation between genocide and Israel
There is no "dispute" between Israel and South Africa that the court can rule over, because that would require that they engage with them.
"Random quotes" of people like the Israeli Prime Minister, Secretary of Defense, and Knesset members mean nothing, it is not policy
Hamas is in literally every home and hospital, in every humanitarian zone and aid vehicle, and embedded in every facility of civilian infrastructure
Israel provides all the food, water, medicine, fuel, etc. that Gazans could possibly want
Israel must protect themselves from Hamas which has sworn to destroy it
The world has forgotten about the plight of the Ukrainians and Uyghurs who are peaceful
