Israel must be sanctioned to stop Rafah incursion

Tehran, Qodsna - Albanese stated that the Zionist regime has even extended its military operation in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, following the Friday ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

She emphasized that the Zionist regime will not stop its madness and absurdity unless the international community intervenes. Therefore, she urged that sanctions must be imposed on the regime, arms exports to it must be banned, and diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv must be suspended until the attack on Rafah is halted.

The director of the Middle East and North Africa department at Amnesty International, Heba Morayef, also stressed that any military action that could amount to genocide must be stopped, and the regime’s authorities must completely halt the military operations in Rafah. Morayef warned that the ground incursion and forced displacement of Gaza residents pose even greater irreversible dangers for the Palestinians, whose rights are guaranteed under the Genocide Convention.

Furthermore, Lebanese Judge Nawaf Salam, the President of the International Court of Justice, stated that in accordance with the Genocide Convention, any operation in Rafah could lead to partial or total destruction in the city, and the regime must immediately stop the military invasion of Rafah.
