Israel's government has issued a response to the additional provisional measures set forth by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the ongoing genocide case brought against it by South Africa. The ICJ's measures call for Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip due to concerns of famine.
In a statement from Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Lior Haiat criticized South Africa's motives, accusing them of attempting to undermine Israel's right to defend its citizens against Hamas attacks and secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.
