The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has in a statement “applauded” the rulings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) demanding an end to Israel’s attacks on Rafah.

“While the Biden administration stands alone in continuing to offer full support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the international community is increasingly pushing back against the slaughter, forced starvation and ethnic cleansing Israel’s far-right government is inflicting on the Palestinian people,” it said.

“Israel is clearly attempting to make Gaza uninhabitable. It must be stopped from completing this monstrous goal. President Biden must honor this important ruling by immediately ending all military assistance to Israel’s genocide.”

The US-based civil rights group had earlier welcomed South Africa’s case at the ICJ seeking an end to Israeli attacks on Gaza, along with South Africa’s requests concerning Rafah.
