The top U.N. court has ordered Israel to stop its Rafah military operation

Presiding Judge Nawaf Salam reads the ruling of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, on Friday, May 24. The top United Nations court ruled on an urgent plea by South Africa for judges to order Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza and withdraw from the enclave.

The International Court of Justice in The Hague has no power to enforce Friday’s ruling, but it adds international pressure on Israel.
