The International Court of Justice in The Hague is set to hold hearings over a two-day period following a request from South Africa to ensure Israel halts its military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. This marks the fourth time South Africa has sought emergency measures from the court, alleging that Israel's military actions in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza amount to genocide.
The latest request emphasizes the need for additional measures to address what South Africa describes as a 'brutal military attack' on the people of Gaza, particularly in Rafah where a significant portion of the population has sought shelter.
