International Court Of Justice Mandates Israel Halt Operations In Rafah: Why It Matters
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has mandated Israel to halt its military operations in Rafah, Gaza, following accusations of genocide. This ruling, requested by South Africa, challenges Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies and could harm Israel's international reputation. The ICJ also emphasized the need for unimpeded access for investigators into Gaza. Despite the binding nature of ICJ rulings, enforcement remains uncertain. The ruling may increase diplomatic pressure on Israel and its allies, particularly the U.S. The iShares MSCI Israel ETF (NYSE:EIS) saw a slight rebound after the news.
