Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the International Court of Justice in The Hague following the ICJ ruling today, CNN reports.

One of the protest organisers, Nadia Slimi, told CNN she is “very happy” following the ICJ’s ruling imposing provisional measures on Israel over its military operation in Gaza, but was disappointed the court did not rule in favor of an immediate ceasefire.

“It feels like a victory and a significant milestone and a step in the right direction in the liberation of the Palestinian people in a way. It is also very disappointing that the court did not rule in favor for an immediate ceasefire at this time, because I personally believe that that is what the people need,” she said.
