Top UN court issues decision on South Africa’s request in Rafah

THE HAGUE, Feb. 17 (YPA) – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued its decision on the urgent request submitted by South Africa regarding the situation in Rafah.

The ICJ stressed that “Israel remains obligated to comply with the Genocide Convention, including ensuring the security of the Palestinians in Gaza.”

“The developments, especially in Rafah, would greatly increase what is considered a humanitarian nightmare with untold consequences,” the ICJ said, noting that the dangerous situation in Gaza requires immediate implementation of the measures earlier imposed late last month regarding a landmark genocide case.
