"UN Court Denies South Africa's Request for Urgent Gaza Safeguards"
TL;DR Summary
The top UN court rejected South Africa's request for urgent measures to safeguard Rafah in the Gaza Strip, but emphasized that Israel must respect earlier measures imposed at a preliminary stage in a genocide case. The court stated that the existing measures are applicable throughout the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah, and Israel remains bound to comply with its obligations under the Genocide Convention. South Africa's legal campaign against Israel is rooted in its history under apartheid and accuses Israel of breaching the Genocide Convention, while Israel denies committing genocide and asserts it targets Hamas militants while trying to spare civilians.
