The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has decided against South Africa's petition for further interim measures in the case concerning the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the Gaza Strip, specifically following Israel's Rafah offensive. The ICJ emphasized the need for Israel to implement its previous decision effectively, highlighting the 'perilous situation' in Rafah that demands 'immediate and effective implementation of the provisional measures' ordered on January 26, 2024. These measures are applicable throughout the Gaza Strip, including Rafah, aiming to ensure the safety and security of Palestinians amidst what the ICJ describes as an exponentially increasing 'humanitarian nightmare'. Despite the urgent request from South Africa earlier this week, the ICJ found Israel's military developments in Rafah in breach of the Court's Provisional Measures Orders but did not order additional provisional measures. The situation has drawn international attention, with calls for concrete actions beyond mere statements, including halting military support to Israel and imposing sanctions per international law.
Mere statements won't stop the invasion of #Rafah. What's needed are concrete actions: States must halt military support to Israel, impose sanctions per international law. @IntlCrimCourt must issue arrest warrants for all members of the Israeli War Cabinet. Time to act is now.

South Africa serves as the legal arm of the terrorist group Hamas, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat wrote on X Saturday after the ICJ on Friday said that it does not see the need for additional emergency measures against Israel. https://t.co/TeGgWK9khL
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

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
