"International Court Orders Israel to Halt Gaza Operation Amid Calls for Ceasefire"

The International Court of Justice issued additional provisional measures in South Africa’s lawsuit against Israel for allegedly violating the Genocide Convention through its military operations in Gaza, ordering Israel to allow vital humanitarian aid into Gaza without hindrance due to the worsening humanitarian crisis, including imminent famine. While the Court's decision appears to reaffirm its prior order, individual judges' opinions reveal differing perspectives, with some advocating for a ceasefire and others emphasizing the Court's jurisdiction and the complexities of the situation involving Israel, Hamas, and UNRWA.
