The European Union’s top diplomat says the bloc will have to make a choice between supporting international institutions and the rule of law.
Joseph Borrell was speaking after the UN’s highest court ruled that Israel had to halt its military offensive in Raffah, in response to a case brought by South Africa.
South Africa has accused Israel of violating the UN genocide convention in Gaza. Israel has said “no power on earth” will stop it going after Hamas.

We support Israel.
We do not support Islam.
One has to wonder why Israel gets so much more attention than Saudi Arabia. Look what they have been doing in Yemen. Gulf oil intetests have the media bought off?
The war will end when Palestinians accept their loss and accept Israel. We ALL accept loss. But fools egg the Palestinians on to being the worst losers on Earth. Suicide, rape, death, kidnapping, hate, sacrificing their children, burning their own city…on and on. Because they will not surrender until forced. But surrender they will. Same as Christian Palestinians to Muslim colonizers and conquerers in the 630s. Same as Germany and Japan in WWII. Only a fool supports total, complete suicide. Seems only that will satisfy many Palestinian 'supporters.'
Law ?!! What is law ?! What is human rights ?! What is UN ?!! Useless things 🤷🏻♀️
Ordered by whom, the UN? They have no authority.
The real question is which side do you support? Israel or Hamas terrorists.
you are there, but in an illegaly after 2000 years created Israel, without respecting the self determination right of people in the abusive occupied territories. In 75 years of Israel you could only bring misery in the region. You never had the intention to live in peace with the people there. If so, you wouldn't killed and deported so many people. You would give them rights and not bullets. This is the reality. You complain today? But who heard the complains of the palestinian people you abused for decades in Palestina?
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
If Israel is the villain what is Russia or China if it takes on Tiwan?
Rule of law!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
UN WANT TO DECIDE HOW ISREAL SHOULD RESPOND WHILE HAMAS HAS FREE DAY.
IT'S AN UNJUST LAW OR NO LAW AT ALL
AN UNJUST LAW IS NO LAW AT ALL🇳🇬
And what rule of law will terrorists be held to? The courts label people criminals but enforce nothing, if they had fought the war their hands would be dirty too. So next time you send out arrest warrants for leaders you go there and enforce it. Otherwise stfu
Hypocrisy of western politicians criminals who never pay their crimes
The UN SUPPORTS ISRAHEL….
After the China-(22)Arab summit last week at Beijing. The Egypt and UAE are leading the Arab world. The 2 states solution had been finished with solid support from China-Russia-France visits in May. BRICS AND SCO ' s 2 states solution.
What about Hamas who started this war.
These people sre worse the the German Nazis and will be remembered ss such
0:53 "those still there & the 800,000 who have fled" – to where have they fled?
There is no way out of Gaza, the people are just running around in circles fleeing wherever the Israeli bombing is most intense. And Israel is shooting & bombing them as they run.
Shooting & bombing civilians.
@BBC, your reporting is grotesque.
EU cowards
Why don't they ask crazy Puttin to stop his aggression against Ukraine?
Have you seen what the black government of South Africa has done to the most beautiful country on earth? A nest of corruption of crime!
Is this what they wanted when they removed the white government?
They went and accused Israel in ICC, to divert the attention of all the crimes they are comitting.
Tell me which international institutions do you refer that are not "convicted" antisemites? The UN? The UNRWA? The Human Rights Watch? The Spanish, Irish and Norwegian government influenced by the lies that you (the BBC) convey?
Its all a charade
Second, all news or opinions or delivery of above is biased and reinforced by the opinions or assesments of other antisemites who demonize Israel at every turn.
First of all BBC is basically one of the biggest antisemites around. I would not be surprised if it's owned by arabs.
EU shiuld decide to support ISRAEL 🇮🇱 or ISLAMIC TERRORIST GROUPS and Pro Palestine protesters in their country
Hypocrite Broadcast. Free Pelistine 🩸🇦🇪✌️
Pretty easy decision for the EU protect International Law or be War Criminals complicit in a Genocide. For god sake wake up Europe be on the right side of History unlike the US?
Do they even think Hamas even cares about rule of law? 😂😂😂😂
The EU has been funding illegal arab construction for many years.
Did the EU choose between the PA and international law? They chose the PA.
And your murdere*s tell us and lecture us about human rights
West is pure evil
The EU should support the rule of law. So should the UK. Israel needs to obey the law or face sanctions
If this genius had a gun in his hand and 3 armed men were kicking down his front door… then a police call centre calls him and tells him to lay down his weapon.
🤔
I’m curious to know how many of these nations pushing Israel to quit would obey the ICC order if their nations were in Israels shoes.
