The military offensive in Gaza continued despite a United Nations court ruling aimed at ending plausible acts of genocide.
The United Nations’ highest court has ordered Israel to prevent and punish actions that could lead to or incite genocide in Gaza.
But in the weeks following this decision, Israeli forces continued their devastating attack on Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now threatening a possible ground offensive in Rafah, where more than half of Gaza’s population has fled to seek refuge. Palestinians are trapped and have nowhere to go.
So what can be done to stop the Israeli assault?
