The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has recently addressed the escalating situation in Rafah, Gaza Strip, by reiterating the importance of Israel adhering to its previous decision made on January 26, 2024. The court emphasized the 'perilous situation' in Rafah and across the Gaza Strip, demanding the immediate and effective implementation of provisional measures previously indicated. Despite calls for emergency applications to prevent an Israeli invasion of Rafah, where 1.2 million Palestinians are sheltering, the ICJ ruled out the need for additional provisional measures beyond its January order. The enforcement of these measures largely depends on international actors, notably the United States, led by President Biden, whose stance and actions could significantly influence the situation.
The International Court of Justice says in effect there's no need for a new order against Israel's threatened invasion of Rafah because its prior order already prohibits such slaughter. Now to enforce that order. Will Biden stop funding and arming Israel as it flouts the order? https://t.co/SQLQYW8PZz
The International Court of Justice's ruling can be understood as saying: We already ordered Israel not to commit the kind of slaughter that its threatened invasion of Rafah would entail. Now our order needs to be enforced. The ball is in your court, President Biden. https://t.co/AEzB0Jm97m
The International Court of Justice says Israel's threatened invasion of Rafah "would exponentially increase what is already a humanitarian nightmare with untold regional consequences." It already issued an order against such slaughter. Now will Israel's allies enforce it? Biden? https://t.co/b39dADFOQR

My ICJ translation: "Israel is already ignoring our orders. We said they had to stop killing/harming Palestinians and facilitate aid delivery to avoid famine. If they'd complied, attacking Rafah wouldn't even be an option. What's the point of another order?" https://t.co/rJpUuKs2Tg

1. The ICJ notes that developments since its 26 January order create a "perilous situation" that would "exponentially increase what is already a humanitarian nightmare." Israel can fully comply with that order only by "ensuring the safety and security" of Palestinians in Gaza. https://t.co/aoipXMtG9G

The International Court of Justice, acting on South Africa's emergency application, could order Israel not to invade Rafah, where 1.2M Palestinians are sheltering. But enforcement would depend, practically, on Biden, who hasn't been willing to get tough. https://t.co/SvhB5xu0Fu
