The ICJ demands Israel cease its Rafah invasion, but compliance is "probably less than zero," former UN Special Rapporteur Michael Lynk tells Mondoweiss.
“The onslaught on the Palestinians in Gaza is of a nature that can only be intended to result in the genocidal destruction of that group,” South Africa’s application stated. “In attacking Rafah, Israel is attacking the ‘last refuge’ in Gaza, and the only remaining area of the Strip which has not yet been substantially destroyed by Israel. With Rafah’s destruction, the destruction of Gaza itself will be complete.”
