• The International Court of Justice of the United Nations has ordered Israel to immediately stop the offensive against Rafah.
• Israel, although it does not recognize the authority of the court, was one of the signatories in 1948 of the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.
• The court also demands that the border between Egypt and Gaza remains open for the flow of humanitarian aid.
• The International Court of Justice, despite lacking coercive power, poses a difficult alert to ignore for the international community.
• The United Nations actions contradict the statements of Benjamin Netanyahu's Government, which views any criticism of their actions as a validation of the criminal actions of Hamas.
• Netanyahu is the longest-serving Israeli prime minister, positioning the country in a position of greater international disrepute.
• Health infrastructures have been destroyed in Gaza and survivors are facing famine due to Netanyahu's government decisions.

Conclusion: The actions of Netanyahu's government contravenes humanitarian law and endangers civilian lives; this cannot remain unpunished nor expect the endorsement of the global community for the violation of humanitarian rights.
