Attack on Rafah is ‘final blow’ to Palestinians
Continuing his statement on behalf of South Africa’s delegation, Professor Dugard has called Gaza’s southern province of Rafah, where Israel’s military is currently operating, the “last viable part” of the enclave for civilians.
By going ahead with its long-sought invasion there, Israel has severed off “critical border crossings”, stopping the flow of humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and fuel upon which the population depends”, he said.
Israel’s actions violate fundamental principles of humanitarian law and constitute a “final blow” to suffering Palestinians in Gaza, said Dugard. They also provide evidence of the “crime of genocide”.

Self-defence is not license to commit ‘unlimited violence’: Lowe
Lowe says Israel’s argument that it is acting in self-defence in Gaza fails due to three main points:
A state’s right to self-defence does not give it the right to “unlimited violence”.
Self-defence cannot justify genocide. “The prohibition on genocide is absolute”, says Lowe.
A state’s right to self-defence does not apply to a territory it occupies.

Lawyer Vaughan Lowe, speaking for the South African delegation, says it is inconsistent for Israel to block investigators in Gaza while simultaneously arguing against the ICJ proceeding due to “insufficient evidence”.
“The court has to deal with the case based on the best evidence available to it,” he says.
