ICJ Ruling Won't Immediately Change War in Gaza, but Danger Still Looms for Israel
While there are no immediate moves to rein in the IDF, in the longer term there are two dangers: an imposed cease-fire without a resolution of the hostage crisis and missing the Biden administration's proposal for a comprehensive U.S.-Saudi-Israeli agreement
Friday's ruling by the International Court of Justice will not immediately change the course of the war in the Gaza Strip, but it joins a growing series of international actions aimed to pressure Israel into ending the fighting. The ruling's circuitous language allows for an interpretation according to which Israel can continue its operation in Rafah for now; indeed, in recent days, the military has somewhat intensified its offensive in the southern Gaza city.
