Israel has accused South Africa of “grossly distorting” the facts of the war in Gaza by bringing a genocide case against it to the UN’s top court.
South Africa has asked judges from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague to impose measures to halt the conflict immediately, on the basis that Israel has breached the UN Genocide Convention. Lawyers for South Africa had laid out a case alleging a “chilling” intent ring about "the destruction of the population" of Gaza.
