International Court of Justice orders Israel to stop assault on Rafah

The United Nations’ highest court has no way of enforcing its ruling, but the ruling puts additional international pressure on Israel over its conduct in Gaza.

The State of Israel, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and taking into account the worsening living conditions faced by civilians in the Rafah Governorate, has , by 13 votes to 2, immediately end its military offensive and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which could inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza living conditions that would lead to its physical destruction in whole or in part.
