Pakistan’s former ambassador Maleeha Lodhi has termed as “disappointing” the failure of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to order a ceasefire in Gaza.
“But to tell Israel to stop the killings and to protect Palestinians, to an extent, this is a big blow to Israel because this is binding,” Lodhi said while speaking to Geo News.
She added that the pressure being put on Israel is “moral pressure”, although there were expectations by the court to do more.
Separately in a post on X, she praised South Africa for “standing up for Palestinians, for law and justice and also becoming the voice of the Global South”.
