Responding to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Israel must take every action to stop genocidal acts in Gaza, Christian Aid’s Head of Middle East Policy & Advocacy William Bell said:
"This ruling is clear; Israel must take all measures to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza. There can be no excuse for such abhorrent acts against humanity.
"Ultimately the suffering won’t end until we have a permanent ceasefire. That was needed yesterday to stop the slaughter of civilians in Gaza.
“World leaders, including the UK Government, must hold Israel to account on this ruling and assert all pressure to free the hostages and bring an end to the terrible loss of life in Gaza.”
