Israeli politicians rejected the ruling, which came as part of South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide
The International Court of Justice ruled Friday that Israel must immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah, Gaza.
The court cannot enforce the order on its own, which came as a result of South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide.
The 13-2 ruling comes after Gaza health authorities said at least 35,000 people have been killed under Israeli bombardment. Hundreds of thousands of people have also fled Rafah amid fears of a large-scale invasion, The New York Times reported.
