The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to immediately halt its operation on Rafah a week after it was requested by South Africa as part of its case accusing Israel of genocide.
Australia believes Israel should abide by a top United Nations court's "binding" ruling that its military assault in southern Gaza must stop, a senior minister has said. Judges at the International Court of Justice, or World Court, have ordered Israel to immediately halt its operation on Rafah , in a landmark emergency ruling in South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide.
Oxfam's Middle East and North Africa Regional Director Sally Abi-Khalil called on the Israeli government to comply with the ruling and let in aid. "All states have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure Israel complies with this order, and that the hundreds of thousands of people sheltering in Rafah are protected," Abi-Khalil said.
