RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian Authority says a ruling by the UN’s top court that Israel should do everything it can to prevent any acts of genocide in Gaza shows “no state is above the law.”

“The ICJ order is an important reminder that no state is above the law,” Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki says in a video statement, adding that the ruling “should serve as a wake-up call for Israel and actors who enabled its entrenched impunity.”
