EU Officials Demand Israel Comply With ICJ Order

As Israel continues to massacre Palestinian civilians across the Gaza Strip, European diplomats are finding it increasingly difficult to support the genocidal war

EU diplomats on 27 May urged Israel to comply with an order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to “immediately halt” its offensive in Rafah, as attacks on shelters for displaced civilians have killed hundreds of Palestinians over the past three days.

Speaking ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said, “Everybody agrees that the rulings of the International Court of Justice are binding, and they have to be implemented.”

These comments were echoed by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and her Spanish counterpart José Manuel Albares, who said the European ministers would discuss how to “take the right measures to enforce that decision.”

Albares also participated in a joint news conference with the Norwegian and Irish foreign ministers. The three nations are set to officially recognize Palestinian statehood on Tuesday.

“We have recognized both the State of Israel and the State of Palestine precisely because we want to see a future of normalized relations between the two peoples,” Ireland’s Foreign Minister Micheal Martin told reporters.

“There can be no military solution to this conflict. And I refute absolutely any group using violence or terrorism to try and eliminate the State of Israel or to eliminate the State of Palestine as an idea or as a reality,” he added.

On Friday, the ICJ ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah and allow for the “unhindered entry” of humanitarian aid to the enclave. Moreover, the World Court also ordered Israeli authorities to allow “unimpeded access” to Gaza to UN genocide investigators.

In response to the ruling, Israel intensified its onslaught across the strip, bombing schools and tent compounds for displaced civilians.
