Israel-Gaza war: Judges at ICJ set to rule on Israel's offensive amid fears for Rafah

Judges at the UN's top court, 🤶 the International Court of Justice (ICJ), are due to rule on South Africa's request to order Israel to halt its 🤶 Rafah offensive and withdraw from Gaza, part of a wider case accusing Israel of genocide.

South Africa's lawyers asked the court 🤶 last week to impose emergency measures, and said Israel's attacks on the southern Gaza city "must be stopped" to ensure 🤶 the survival of the Palestinian people.

Pretoria has urged the International Court of Justice to order an "immediate" stop to Israel's 🤶 campaign and facilitate access of humanitarian aid.

Contexto:

Israel has repeatedly dismissed the accusations of genocide as baseless. It has argued in 🤶 court that the operations in Gaza are self-defence and targeted at Hamas militants who attacked Israel on 7 October.

Rulings by 🤶 the ICJ, also known as the world court, are final and binding, but have been ignored in the past. The 🤶 court has no enforcement powers.
