EU says it expects full compliance with ICJ ruling
The European Union says it expects Israel and Hamas to fully comply with the rulings of the International Court of Justice.
The UN’s top court ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide against the Palestinians and to do more to help civilians — although it stopped short of ordering a ceasefire.
It called on Hamas and other terror groups to immediately release all the hostages they hold.
“Orders of the International Court of Justice are binding on the parties and they must comply with them. The European Union expects their full, immediate and effective implementation,” the European Commission says in a statement.
