NEW YORK: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday ruled that Israel must halt its military offensive in Rafah in southern Gaza

South Africa had asked the ICJ to order it as an emergency measure, saying Israel’s actions in Rafah amount to a “genocidal” operation and threaten the survival of the Palestinian people.

The ICJ also ordered Israel to open the Rafah border crossing to allow the entry of humanitarian aid.
