international Court (ICJ) this Friday demanded that Israel immediately cease its military offensive in the city of Rafah, in the far south of the Gaza Strip, and warned that the current situation resulting from this military operation suggests “increased risk of irreparable harm” Palestinians to avoid genocide.
Among the demands on Israel “ensure unhindered access” to Gaza “any commission of inquiry” to “investigate allegations of genocide” against the Israeli army and government and ordered it to “keep open” the Rafah crossing for humanitarian aid to enter the strip.
Reading out the resolution, the president of the organization Nawaf Salamsaid the temporary measures ordered by the court in March did not fully resolve the current situation in the besieged Palestinian enclave and that the conditions for a new emergency order had been met.

Outside, a small group of pro-Palestinian protesters waved flags and played a rap tape calling for a free Palestine.
Israel has repeatedly rejected accusations of genocide, arguing in court that its operations in the Gaza Strip are carried out in self-defense and are aimed at Hamas militants who attacked Israel on October 7.
An Israeli government spokesman said ahead of Friday’s decision that “no power on earth will stop Israel protect its citizens and pursue Hamas in the Gaza Strip“.
Israel launched an attack on the southern city of Rafah this month, forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee the city, which has been a safe haven for roughly several years. half of the 2.3 million inhabitants.
Rafah, on the southern edge of Gaza, has also been a major aid route, and international organizations say the Israeli operation has isolated the enclave and increased the risk of famine.
South African lawyers last week asked the International Court of Justice to impose emergency measures, saying Israeli attacks on Rafah must stop to ensure the survival of the Palestinian people.
The International Court of Justice is the highest body of the UN that considers disputes between states. His decisions are final and binding, but they have been ignored in the past. The court has no coercive powers.
A decision against Israel could increase diplomatic pressure on the prime minister’s government. Benjamin Netanyahu.
