Egypt and Jordan have welcomed the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) call for Israel to immediately end its military operation in Rafah and urged the UN Security Council to pressure Israel to end its operation.
Egypt urged Israel to implement the measures taken by the International Court of Justice, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It also “called upon the [UN] Security Council and influential international parties must fulfill their legal and humanitarian responsibilities by taking decisive action to end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.”
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi applauded the International Court of Justice decision for exposing “Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.”
The Security Council “must take its responsibility, put an end to Israel’s impunity and measure its enforcement [international] law,” al-Safadi wrote on X.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) also welcomed the decision, saying it “reflects the international community’s commitment to international law and justice and enhances the protection of the rights of the Palestinian people.”
GCC Secretary General Jasem al-Budaiwi also called on the international community to pressure Israel to end “the hostile and brutal acts against the Palestinian people.”
