Israel Rejects South Africa’s Genocide Case at ICJ

Israel has firmly rejected South Africa’s move to launch a genocide case against it at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), dismissing it as a “baseless blood libel” with no legal merit.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry accused South Africa of collaborating with a terrorist group that calls for Israel’s destruction, referring to Hamas. Israel contends that its actions in the conflict with Hamas in Gaza are by international law, emphasizing efforts to limit harm to non-combatants. The dispute reflects ongoing tensions and differing perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
