Israel Urges World Court to Reject South Africa Appeal Over Rafah

A view of the International Court of Justice, the United Nations' top court, on Feb. 2, 2024. Palestinians pray in a damaged mosque following an Israeli strike in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Feb. 15, 2024.

The International Court of Justice should reject a South African request that the court issue additional emergency measures to protect Palestinians' rights in Rafah, Israel argued to the World Court.
