The International Court of Justice (ICJ) announced that it will issue a ruling on South Africa’s request to halt Israel’s offensive on Rafah tomorrow afternoon.
Rafah is currently sheltering over one million displaced Palestinians fleeing Israeli attacks in other parts of the enclave.
During hearings last week, South Africa requested the ICJ to mandate an end to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, specifically in Rafah, to ensure the survival of the Palestinian population.
This demand for emergency measures is part of a broader case filed by South Africa, accusing Israel of genocide.
Following initial hearings in January, the ICJ issued several provisional measures, directing Israel to take steps to mitigate humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
