The Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip has reached a devastating milestone, with the death toll surpassing 26,000, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza. Since the conflict began on October 7, more than 64,400 people have been wounded in the ongoing violence. This grim update comes as the International Court of Justice prepares to announce its decision on whether to order Israel to halt its offensive in the Palestinian territory.
One of the key factors driving this legal battle is South Africa's accusation of genocide against Israel. The South African government has asked the world court in The Hague, Netherlands, to impose interim measures that would require Israel to stop its offensive, provide access to aid for Gaza residents, and take reasonable measures to prevent genocide. Israel, on the other hand, has vehemently denied committing genocide and has urged the court to dismiss the case.
