| Top UN court rejects South African request for urgent measures to safeguard Rafah |
| 2024-02-17 |
| [Ynet] The top UN court on Friday rejected a South African request to impose urgent measures to safeguard Rafah in the Gaza Strip, but also stressed that Israel must respect earlier measures imposed late last month at a preliminary stage in a landmark genocide case. The International Court of Justice said in a statement that the "perilous situation" in Rafah "demands immediate and effective implementation of the provisional measures" that it ordered Jan. 26. It said no new order was necessary because the existing measures "are applicable throughout the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah." The World Court added that Israel "remains bound to fully comply with its obligations under the Genocide Convention" and the Jan. 26 ruling which ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza. Israel simply must do something nice for South Afrika - to teach monkeys not to fling feces.
