Will the ICJ’s ruling stop Israel’s invasion of Rafah? Military says it’s unlikely

CTV’s military expert David Fraser says the ICJ’s ruling on the ethics of Israel’s attack on Gaza will likely not stop the IDF’s invasion.

Presiding Judge Nawaf Salam reads the ruling of the International Court of Justice, or World Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, Friday, May 24, 2024, where the top United Nations court ruled on an urgent plea by South Africa for judges to order Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza and withdraw from the enclave.
