J7 Task Force Statement on the ICJ Preliminary Ruling on Israel
Says South Africa "served as Hamas representatives" at Court
New York, NY, May 24, 2024 ... ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) today condemned the U.N.'s top court, the International Court of Justice, for allowing external political pressure to dictate its biased ruling demanding Israel to halt its military operation in Rafah.
ADL issued the following statement:
ADL condemns the ICJ for allowing external political pressure to dictate its biased ruling today, and South Africa for essentially serving as Hamas’ representatives at the court. By demanding that Israel immediately halt its military operation in Rafah, the ICJ has determined that Israel has no right to retrieve its hostages or defend its citizens from terror.
The very fact that Hamas, the terrorist organization that perpetrated the October 7 massacre, congratulated the ICJ on this ruling attests to the absurdity of these proceedings. We call on members of the international community to reject the ICJ’s-biased ruling.
