UN Court Orders Israel to Halt Rafah Operation in Gaza

The International Court of Justice demands immediate cessation of military activities and ensures humanitarian aid access.

  • The ICJ's ruling follows South Africa's request for emergency measures over Israel's actions in Rafah.
  • Israel is required to keep the Rafah crossing open for humanitarian assistance.
  • The court's decision is part of a broader case accusing Israel of genocide, which Israel denies.
  • Israeli leaders face increasing international pressure and potential arrest warrants.
  • Hamas and the Palestinian Authority welcome the ruling but seek broader application across Gaza.
