RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates emphasised that an immediate ceasefire is a necessary and practical condition to compel Israel to implement the measures issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to civilians and secure their basic humanitarian needs.

In a statement on Saturday (Jan 27), the ministry said the continued commission of acts of genocide by Israel against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is considered a challenge to the World Court’s decision.
