Israel appears set on destroying the framework created to ensure compliance with international law in a way that will have profound consequences that reverberate far beyond Palestine, the international court of justice has heard. “Plans are reportedly under way for Israel to annex 75 sq km of Rafah, one-fifth of Gaza, to Israel’s so-called buffer zone, permanently.
