Description

The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah. The court ruled on Friday that Israel must immediately cease its military actions and other operations in the area, citing the “immediate risk” to the Palestinian people. South Africa sought additional measures from the court following Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city. Following a case brought by South Africa accusing the country of genocide, the court issued provisional measures in January which stopped short of ordering a ceasefire. We speak with Egyptian human rights activist Hossam Bahgat, founder and executive director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, and Reed Brody, war crimes prosecutor and human rights attorney.
