the, the, this is dw news, why, from berlin, israel in, says it's military operation in casa, does comply with international law. after this order from the international court of justice. it must immediately hold its mutual funds, and any other action indemnified. governor, the un stop cord describe the situation in casa as disastrous and a ruling that leaves israel facing further, global isolation. also coming up all lies on the political flight for the capital, new delhi, as india reaches the final stages of elections to pick its new leaders and the race

to find survivors after a massive landslide. it's a remote part of poplar and new guinea hundreds or if you're dead and injured with the rescue effort being hindered by conditions on the ground. the . i'm michael. ok. welcome. israel has rejected an order from the international court of justice in the hague to immediately stop. it's military offensive. in the southern gauze and city of rasa, the court described the humanitarian situation there as disastrous, but stopped short of ordering a full ceasefire. israel insist it's operations inside garza is in line with international law. a file from the front lines of the war in gaza is rails military campaign suffered

a major legal blog is that it must immediately hold its meaning to offense. and any other action ended up a government which may inflict on the by assuming a group and gaza conditions of life that would bring about it's physical destruction in whole or info. that's the latest icy j rolling unequivocal about the need for is round to protect the palestinians and do more to provide vital aid. the decision welcomed by south africa, which brought the case and his accused israel of commission genocide. this order is groundbreaking, as it is the 1st time that explicit mention is made for yourself to halt if military action in any area gather this type of specifically aimed or elsewhere. israel rejects accusations of genocide and the latest i. c. j ruling. will cabinet administer beany guns, seed the fight to return its hostages? would continue,

including in rough uh the i. c. j also order the unconditional release of hostages being held by hum us. well, the court has no way of enforcing the ruling. it poses a major challenge is rams allies. i have to choose between now i suppose to the international institution under all our support and both seems to be quite difficult to make. the ruling is a speaking judicial blow to israel this week. the international criminal court has applied for a wrist warrants the israel's prime minister in defense minister over alleged war crimes, both decisions adding to global criticism of israel's war. and now we turn to union a deal, who is professor of global security at the university of oxford and joins us from

berlin. she specializes on the role of law and morality in international relations . specifically in war, welcome, you know, can you distill this for our viewers? the i, c, j, the you n's top court has ordered israel to stop its military operations in rafa. and yet it has no power to enforce the ruling. so what are the implications for israel? this is really a remarkable stuff in the kind of dentist as of this case because from the start to the south africa onto that in order to protect the palestinians, protect their rights. under the genocide convention, the courts have to interfere and how is real context? this military operation or the ceasefire, and the court rejected this up until now. it is very important to note that the court didn't actually go to a cease fire and also didn't order israel to hold all its military operations in a ha. but it's very, very clearly packed or vice the car into minutes. are you a fence if the israel is conducting, then that's causing the risk of good destruction to the palestinian people. and for

that reason, it needs to be hope that the court is, is quite clear on that mentor. and that's the quite direct interference and how israel conduct this war. and it's also much more direct link that the court establishes between how israel conduct this war and the risk of genocide and the rights of the palestinian people to be protected from it. explained to us how the judges might have arrived at this decision. so this is the 3rd time the order provisional measures and formerly speaking, they need to diagnose a change in the situation on the ground to order additional measures. and this time, the best possible offensive food really large, last time it was really be human and tearing situations, assuming simon, which gets mentioned again this time. but it is really the bustle offensive, but let the dentist to the decision to order additional measures. and specifically, they say they're not, they were not convinced by israel submission, which argued, but israel could protect the civilian population and rough uh,

in line with its obligation on the international and conduct this offensive military. and that instead the court says amplifies the evidence of you and experts and you in bodies and really almost any neutral observer who has over the last weeks race. the alarm basically saying that it's incompatible this offensive operation with the basic protection of the civilian population. and as you mentioned, the court says it's exceptionally grave calls the situation disastrous. as you may well know we, it was reported that is really bombs fell on the gaza strip just this morning, including rafa. common sense might suggest that tells us all we need to know about how israel will react. what does it tell you and is the ruling likely to change anything going forward? so we have come to expect the reactions from them to to know government, right? there's always a mixture of bluster in terms of like the quote would come tell us what to do. but also there's always an attempt to spin these for this. and this time the attempt

was to say, well, the court actually didn't tell us to hold our military defense if it just said that any military or offensive that in principle poses a risk of group destruction to palestinians would have to be halted. now this is multiply as a beating or interpretation of this court order, but i do take some heart from this attempt to spin the order because it does suggest that israel understands that this order has weight. compliance doesn't really depend on anything happening in israel right now. it's really only depends primarily or only on how best of allies of israel react to it, particularly the united states. i only see a chance that the sort of order will make a difference for how israel conducts the work if the biden administration gets behind it. and conditions, any further support on compliance. there is a you need to deal with professor at the university of oxford and an expert on war and morality. we thank you for your time and perspective. thank you. full serv opened in delhi as india reaches the final stretchers of its marathon
