South Africa has taken a strong stance at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) by seeking an emergency halt to Israel's offensive in the southern city of Rafah. This move comes after South Africa filed proceedings at the ICJ accusing Israel of genocide.
During a public hearing at the ICJ, South Africa's delegation expressed grave concerns over Israel's escalating attacks in Gaza, which they claim are in defiance of the court's orders. The South African ambassador to the Netherlands, Vusi Madonsela, highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating that Israel's actions have reached a 'new and horrific stage' of genocide.
