Now that is the order from the united nations top court, israel about its assault on rafah. The announcement comes the same day that israeli soldiers retrieved the bodies of 3 hostages from gaza. Here's nbc's alice barr with more. >> In another major blow to israel, the international court of justice today ordering the country's military to hold its assault on rafah. The united nations court citing an immediate risk to the more than 1 million palestinian civilians who had sought refuge in the southern gaza city is a must immediately halt its money through a fence. The ruling is binding, but the court has no power to enforce it. And israel has indicated it will not comply. It comes the same week the international criminal court said it would seek arrest warrants for israel's prime minister and defence minister along with top hamas officials on war crimes, charges that prime minister netanyahu furiously rejects. What a travesty of justice. What a disgrace. Amid israel's mounting international isolation, house speaker mike johnson announcing netanyahu will soon address a joint session of congress.

The heaviest are most extensive in recent years. But expansive enough to send this message of strong punishment and to apply rehearsal for a potential blockade of the island. Taiwan has scrambled its military input. All units on alert officials have called china's actions irrational provocation. The island is accustomed to having cla jets and china's patrols incursions as they come normalized in recent years. But this escalation followed lies, inauguration speech where he affirmed taiwan's sovereignty and urged beijing

to stop threats and said china should quote, face the reality of the republic of china. Its existence. And it's that sort of language that positions taiwan and china as equals, that seems to have offended the leadership here. China considers taiwan its own territory and anything short of endorsing that is going to invite an angry response here in china. Taiwan is the main topic trending on social media with videos of the drills and patriotic videos that have garnered 1.5 billion views. Taiwan is an issue that stretches far and wide here. And officials are looking to leverage that public sentiment to shore up the idea that on taiwan for china, there's no compromise. >> Boeing has said a proposed date for its first astronaut launch.
