South Africa’s delegation to the ICJ after concluding its legal bid to force the immediate suspension of Israel’s military operation in Gaza.
By Friday afternoon, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will have decided whether South Africa has made a prima facie genocide case against Israel over its military operation in Gaza – and decide whether there is a basis to order an immediate ceasefire.
Israel is adamant the 25 000 Palestinians killed in Gaza over the last three months (70% of whom are women and children) died as a direct result of the deadly 7 October attack launched on it by Hamas.
Hamas killed some 1 200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 240 more during that attack, which reportedly also involved horrific acts of rape and torture.
