ICJ: Israel says 'no power on earth' will stop it 'going after' Hamas

An Israeli government spokesperson said on Thursday that Israel will not be deterred from 'going after Hamas' in Gaza.

The International Court of Justice is set to rule on Friday on South Africa's request for an order to halt military actions in the Gaza Strip.

"No power on Earth will stop Israel from protecting its citizens and going after Hamas in Gaza," the spokesperson, Avi Hyman told reporters, when asked whether Israel would comply if with possible measures issued by the court.
