“The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday ordered Israel to immediately end military operations in Rafah, in southern Gaza and to open the governate’s border crossing for urgent aid deliveries.”
“This follows a request from South Africa in a pending case accusing Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocidal Convention.”
“Reading the new provisional measures in an open session at the court in The Hague, ICJ Justice Nawaf Salam announced that Israel must abide by its obligations under the Genocide Convention to “immediately halt its military offensive and any other action in the Rafah governate which may inflict upon the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that would bring about its physical destruction in whole and in part”.
