After the International Court of Justice requested that Israel immediately halt its military assault on Rafah, Hamas welcomed the court's decision on Friday, stating it demands that the "criminal Zionist entity" cease its aggression against the city of Rafah immediately. However, it expressed that it expected the court to issue a ruling to stop the aggression and genocide against our people throughout Gaza, not just in Rafah. Hamas called on the international community and the United Nations "to pressure Israel to implement the International Court's decision and translate the international resolutions to stop the genocide that has been ongoing for seven months."
