The UN's highest court on Friday ordered Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah, a move likely to add to international pressure for a truce after more than seven months of war.
Israel must “immediately stop its military offensive, and any other action carried out in the Rafah governorate, which would be likely to inflict on the group of Palestinians in Gaza conditions of existence capable of leading to its physical or partial destruction,” declared the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which sits in The Hague.
