World reacts to ICJ order for Israel to halt Rafah assault in Gaza
Israel has been ordered by the top UN court on Friday to halt its military assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah and allow uninterrupted aid supplies. | Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "Those who demand that the State of Israel stop the war, demand that it decree itself to cease to exist. We will not agree to that." ● Opposition leader Yair Lapid: "The ICC arrest warrants are a complete moral failure, we cannot accept the outrageous comparison between Netanyahu and (Hamas leader) Sinwar, between the leaders of Israel and the leaders of Hamas.
