🇿🇦🇮🇱🇺🇳 South Africa launches genocide case against Israel at International Court of Justice

Our friends from SAMU.ZA reported that South Africa has launched a case against Israel at the UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) accusing the state of committing genocide in its military campaign in Gaza.

Israel responded to the allegations “with disgust”, calling South Africa’s case a “blood libel” and urging the ICJ to reject it.

“The acts and omissions by Israel complained of by South Africa are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group,” the South African application said.

“Provisional measures are necessary in this case to protect against further, severe and irreparable harm to the rights of the Palestinian people under the Genocide Convention, which continue to be violated with impunity.”

🇺🇸🇿🇦🇮🇱 US dismisses South Africa's case against Israel as 'meritless'

The US has dismissed South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

South Africa argued that Israel is committing "genocidal" acts in Gaza in the case filed at the ICJ last week.

"As pertains the United States, we are not seeing any acts that constitute genocide," US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller said.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby also said on Wednesday that the US considers the case "meritless, counterproductive and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever".

🇿🇦🇮🇱🇺🇳 South Africa argues genocide case at UN top court

On the first of two days of legal arguments at the International Court of Justice, South Africa's Justice Minister presented his country's case against Israel whom they accuse of genocide in its war in Gaza.

Justice Minister Ronald Lamola said on Thursday that Israel's response to the 7th of October 2023 attack had crossed a line "and gives rise to the breaches of the convention."

South Africa launched its case at the United Nations' top court in November and has asked the ICJ to order an immediate halt to Israel's military campaign in Gaza.

South African lawyer Adila Hassim argued that Israel's conduct violated articles 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D of the 1948 Genocide Convention.

🇮🇱🇿🇦🇵🇸🇺🇳 Israel says South Africa serving Hamas in latest bid to World Court

South Africa's latest request to the World Court against a possible offensive by Israel in southern Gaza serves Hamas and is an attempt to stop Israel from defending itself, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

South Africa on Tuesday asked The ICJ to consider whether Israel's plan to extend its offensive in Gaza into the city of Rafah requires additional emergency measures to protect Palestinians.

"South Africa continues to represent the interests of the Hamas terrorist organization and is trying to deny Israel the fundamental right to defend itself and its citizens," said Israel Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

"Israel is committed to upholding international law, including facilitating the transfer of humanitarian aid and preventing harm to innocents, while the Hamas terrorists are hiding behind the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and are holding 134 people hostage," he added.

🇿🇦🇮🇱 South African citizens fighting in Israel will be arrested said the foreign minister

South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has said that its citizens who have been fighting in Gaza with the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) will be arrested on their return to the country.

“I have already issued a statement alerting those who are South African and are fighting. We are ready. When you come home, we are going to arrest you,” she said.

It is not clear how many people this could affect.

South Africa had already warned last year that its citizens that they may be liable to prosecution if they fought with the IDF.
