Now to the war between Israel and Hamas.
This morning, international pressure on Israel is intensifying after the
UN's top court called for a halt to the offensive
in Gaza.
Rick Clinic joins us now from Tel Aviv with the
latest.
Britt, good morning.
Good morning. Yeah, the fighting rages on in Gaza Despite
that ruling by the UN's top court ordering Israel to
stop it's very controversial military operation in Rafah.
Now, Israel said the court ruling was outrageous.
It said it was morally repugnant.
It said it was disgusting.
And it said that claims that Israel is committing genocide
in Gaza are false,
that it is acting within international law,
even though the ICJ, it can make legally binding rulings
in disputes between countries in this case.
It actually has no way of enforcing those orders.
So instead, it has to rely on tools from other
governments,
like sanctions or even arms embargoes to really press Israel
into compliance.
But this ruling, it is largely symbolic.
It does add to Israel's increasing isolation that we're seeing
on the world stage.
Meanwhile, Egypt, it said it agrees to send UNA trucks
through the Kareem Shalom crossing,
which is Israel's main entry point into southern Gaza.
But really, it isn't clear whether those trucks will even
be able to cross because of the ongoing fighting.
Now the UN says that after a rocky start,
the operation to deliver aid from that US built pier
it has stabilised and that 97 trucks actually made it
to the World Food Programme warehouse.
Janay. Alright Brett, thank you for that update.
