Israel to present its case to ICJ over Rafah offensive | BBC News

share



the UN’s top court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), will hear Israel’s response to a case brought by South Africa calling for Israel to halt its offensive in Rafah in the Gaza war.

The court is already considering a case brought by South Africa in January accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel has rejected the claim as false and “grossly distorted”.

Meanwhile, there has been further calls for Israel to allow more aid into Gaza by reopening the Rafah crossing.

  2. These cords in the United Nations are siding with the Palestinian jihadist Hamas they are the same. At the same time Israel still finding dead hostages bodies in captivity that they stoled on October 7th. The world court is a kangaroo court and should not be listened to in the United Nations is a big joke and they can all kiss my blankety-blank

  3. its not a war between nations but its a fight between occuppying zionists nazis and freedom fighters

  4. America and England should think carefully before they continue to supply weapons on the land of Bethlehem to the Jewish government, knowing full well that women children, old people have clearly been killed, England and America should think when they are in church on Sunday morning when they are praying for forgiveness,, what about the Palestinians on the land of Bethlehem, , God never made the Jewish people Masters of the Land of Bethlehem they was intended to live together in peace, nobody should be killing anybody on the land of Bethlehem or supplying powerful armory…

  5. Talking about Ukraine? No problem at all! But as soon as you dare to fight for your life in Palestine, suddenly you're labeled as Hamas. It's absolutely revolting!

  6. BREAKING: Apparently, the ICC has accused the UK for the genocide of the 125k civilian deaths in the battle of Berlin in 1945!! Oh, wait, no, sorry, I mean Israel in Gaza, 35k, 2024!

  10. Free Palestine ❤

  11. So … why did Egypt stop the supplies from their side? Is that the responsibility of Israel too? From the factual state, aid is overflowing into Gaza from Israel side (even with Israelis dmonstrations) and from the new peer. So why the heck are you pointing the finger at Israel and it’s clean up actions in Rafah. So desperate to save Hamas?

  12. BBC also responsible for Genocide

  13. I am very disappointed with the ICJ, there is no justice through these institutions for the underprivileged. I am 100% sure (God forbid) that the US, UK, Israel, Germany have put a gag on these judges to never conclude this case. I am an African, I know how speedy this decision could have been if it was Russia in this position. Shame on all these evil and complicit judges.

  17. South Africa, will loose again, Hammas committed genocide to both Israelis and Palestinians by using them as human shield, Israel is fighting against evil, from proudly black South African

  18. This is politically motivated proganda and is not to be trusted. The BBC has lost the trust of British people.

  19. If this is "genocide" (which Hamas has claimed to have been happening for ages, even despite the fact that Gaza's population growth rate and birth rate outstrips those of Israel) then:

    i) Why isn't a single Muslim country doing anything substantive to help their Muslim "brothers" and "sisters"? (e.g. sending in their armies, declaring war, etc). Egypt and Jordan still have their peace treaties with Israel. Iran sent over a volley of drones one night. Hezbollah in Lebanon shells a few Northern Israeli towns, occasionally. But that's it. Just some lame symbolic measures to try and back up a lame clam of "genocide".

    ii) Where is Hamas in all of this? They haven't lost a single fighter so far (according to Hamas). So what are they doing? Just cowering down in what's left of their tunnels while letting Israel have their way with their own people on the surface? Does no one in Hamas have the guts to go up and face the IDF at all?

    iii) If Israel is committing "genocide" and slaughtering no one but Gazan "civilians", then why has Hamas' military capacity collapsed so spectacularly over the past few months? (Despite not losing a single fighter, of course)? Seems kind of strange to me, given my limited knowledge of the history of warfare, that a fighting force with "0 casualties" would somehow be able to be hamstrung so badly in such a situation.

  20. Free Nederland from israhell

  21. All Israelis are liars, they can't be trusted.

  22. Nobody including ICJ can order Israel what to do since lsreal did not start the war. Which army will pre inform people to evacuate before they strike. The people themselves refuse to comply. Icj shd rathet order Russia to leave Ukraine and order Hamas and Lebanon to stop attacking Israel forever.

  23. there is a universal call to arrest and jail blinken

  24. Just Evreyone remember. All things bad are backed by China or the evil east in some way.

    Support the west and our country always

  25. Gazans were leaving Rafah by their cars, after months of war they still have fuel! It’s a weird kind of war when Israel is trying to protect, feed and supply Gazans while they are only blaming and not helping to defeat Hamas and free hostages

  26. Israel will lash out the world as anti Semitic

  27. Hamas (elected government of the Palestine people) declared war a decade ago and fired rockets daily at times in that period and fired more than was fired in ww2. Israel has been patient enough and done all within the rules covering war, so in that, they have nothing to answer to until Hamas surrenders, they can carry on). All of Pallywood(yes they fake so many videos it's shocking) won't make a difference to the laws. Genocide – bollocks, the only genocide has been the constant attempts by certain religious factions to genocide the Jewish people and it is sad and shocking how many ignore all that and insult those who died in the most violent repugnant act of human cruelty against Jewish people from all over the World and still some alive, held hostage.

    Palestine should be in front of this court, not Israel.

  28. GUILTY
    ARREST. SANCTIONS.

  29. "Frustration is the only thing our enemies will know."

  30. We, America, don't owe Israel anything. We aren't obligated to share responsibility for mass civilian casualties.

  31. IDF lacks the competence and discipline to avoid mass civilian casualties and indiscriminate violence.

  32. Zionazis

  33. The world stands with Gaza! It's time to bring the Israeli government to justice!

    FREE PALESTINE!

  34. Hamas started the war

  35. Hypocrites, liers, war mongers 😂😂😂😂

  36. Proč izraelská vláda přehlíží zvěrstva páchaná na palestoncich, ženách, dětech, ponižování izraelskými vojáky,oni vlastně mají všechno dovolené,co to je vlastně za válku,to jsou jako piráti loupeživí, šílené a soudy nikoho nezenou l zodpovědnosti.

  37. And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers/peace makers."

    Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.

    Quran 2:11-12.

    This verse sums up the West and most countries that ally with them.

    Keep causing mischief, a day will come when we all be questioned about our actions.

  38. The only genocide in the region is that which the Palestinians continually call for…of Israel.

    The complete erasure of Israel is the foundation on which the Palestinian people were founded. Stop pretending otherwise when they openly admit it for decades

  39. United States Racism African Black Children Death Famine NO UNRWA Ship Food Truck Air Drops Hospitals Ambulance In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 1:26

  40. A deliberate attempt by Israel to continue its genocide. Stop the War

  41. Stop the genocide

  42. Free the world form Israeli ideology ,
