Can the world court stop Israel's offensive in Rafah?|Inside Story

In its latest appeal, South Africa has called on the UN’s top court for urgent measures to order a halt on Israel’s assault on Rafah. Israel says its operation aimed at targeting the last stronghold of Hamas in Rafah. South Africa calls it a ‘genocidal act’. The International Court of Justice has ordered some provisional measures earlier. But Israel has largely ignored them. So can the ICJ enforce its orders?
