South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide at International Court of Justice

Israel Denies Allegations, Arguing They Are Fighting Genocide by Targeting Hamas

South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip at the International Court of Justice, arguing that Israel's military campaign has resulted in the death of over 23,000 Palestinians in the last three months, 70% of whom are believed to be women and children.
South Africa has called for an emergency injunction to force Israel to immediately suspend their military campaign in Gaza.
South Africa's case against Israel includes accusations of Israel's institutionalized regime of discriminatory laws, policies, and practices designed to establish domination subjecting the Palestinian people to apartheid.
South Africa's case also addresses the starvation and disease resulting from Israel's siege of Gaza and obstruction or disruption of food, clean water supply, electricity and medical supplies and facilities.
Israel has denied the allegations, arguing that they are the ones fighting genocide by targeting Hamas and that they have the right to defend themselves against Hamas' terrorist attacks.
