The U.N.'s top court, the International Court of Justice, on Friday ordered Israel to cease its military offensive in Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, citing concerns over the safety of Palestinian civilians.
"Israel must immediately halt its military offensive and any other action in the Rafah governorate which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part," ICJ President Nawaf Salam said. The court noted that conditions in Rafah had deteriorated further since the ICJ's last ruling in March, and that the provisional measures that the ICJ instructed at the time

WHO IS Nawaf Salam? "Nawaf Salam is a Lebanese diplomat, jurist, and academic."
But, no, of course not, he has no interest in Israel's fight for existence. I'm betting he was doing a lot of celebrating on Oct 7 and wishing he could have been there for the mass rape.

What does Israel get back for not being able to protect itself. Will the Court of Justice send forces to patrol GAZA and stop any attacks on them? Will they guarantee reparations for their country? I don't think so but Netanyahu should insist on this and have them show up to do it before he retreats.

Who is going to be selected by the UN to enforce that UN Court order? Maybe the Mullahs of Iran?

No one owes any allegiance to the UN or its court. Read Agenda 21 published by the UN. It is a formula to change America to a socialist or communist nation. It is time for the USA to stop paying UN and refuse to support that phony bull dust operation.

I guess the UN is afraid they are going to lose some more of their UNRW Hamas supporting people.

Israel should agree to call it off in about a month, by then they should have things where they want them.
Meanwhile the US should tell the UN to fin a home in some other country and inform them that the checks will stop abruptly.

Dear UN Court,
We have received your request for us to cease all fighting in Rafah.
We are happy to comply. Once all the members of Hamas are dead, the fighting will cease.
Please let us know if we can do anything else for you.
Sincerely,
Israel.
