The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to stop its military offensive in Rafah immediately. This decision supports a South African request accusing Israel of committing genocide. Presiding judge Nawaf Salam stated that the situation in Gaza has worsened. Israel denied the allegations and indicated it would ignore the order, continuing its operations as necessary. The ICJ also demanded unimpeded access for UN investigations and humanitarian aid to Gaza. Palestinian officials welcomed the ruling, while Israeli leaders criticized it and continued airstrikes in Rafah shortly after the announcement.
