UN Court Orders Israel To Halt Military Operations In Gaza

Ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Gaza City

Breaking news from The Hague reveals that the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, sparking backlash from various governments, including Israel. In response to Israel's military operations in southern Gaza City of Rafah, the top UN court has ordered Israel to halt its actions, citing Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas militants. However, Israel is unlikely to comply with the ruling, further escalating international tensions.

The International Court of Justice's order adds to the mounting pressure on Israel, aiming to address the conflict in Gaza and isolate the country. This recent decision marks the third time this year that the 15-judge panel has intervened in the Gaza situation with legally binding orders. Despite the enforceability of these orders, the court lacks the means to ensure compliance, as it does not possess a police force.
