TOPSHOT - Protesters call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war as they demonstrate outside the home of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Arlington, Virginia, on January 27, 2024.

The unabated hostilities came a day after the UN's International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled Israel must prevent possible acts of genocide in the conflict but stopped short of calling for a ceasefire.
