The International Court of Justice had 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, had ordered Israel to immediately halt its operation on Rafah , in a landmark emergency ruling in South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide. Israel bombed the Gaza Strip, including Rafah, on Saturday, despite the order.
