Netanyahu calls emergency meeting following ICJ ruling

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene an emergency meeting with key ministers following the ICJ's order that Israel halt its offensive on Rafah, Israeli media is reporting.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz, war cabinet minister Benny Gantz and the government’s judicial adviser are said to be attending.

Al Jazeera is citing political sources reporting that Israel will not respond to the ruling, and that it is already holding under-the-table talks with the US for it to veto the resolution at the UN Security Council.
