The Zionist Federation of Australia calls on the Albanese Government to reject ICJ order and reaffirm Israel’s right to self-defence.
ZFA President Jeremy Leibler said, “On the very same day that Israel discovered the bodies of three hostages murdered by Hamas under an UNRWA facility, the International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to abandon its citizens still being held hostage, by halting operations in Rafah, citing UNRWA statistics. This order sends a message to Hamas and terrorist organisations worldwide that they can commit barbaric attacks and then use civilian populations as human shields to gain immunity, and erodes any remaining credibility of the ICJ. Now is the time for the Australian Government to reject this order and reaffirm its commitment to stand by Israel’s right to self-defence and remove Hamas from power.”
