The International Court of Justice has reminded Israel that it has already ordered it to “ensure the safety and security of the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip” – including in Rafah.
The onslaught on Rafah that Netanyahu is threatening would be a clear breach of that order and illegal.
How will history judge the international community if we just carry on making polite requests to Israel but do nothing in practice to prevent its illegal onslaught on Rafah when we have the chance to do so?
The USA and governments like our own have leverage. We must use that leverage. Now.
