Overview

• South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice to halt Israel's military operations in Rafah, citing genocide claims.
• Israel argues the case is an attempt to gain military advantage for Hamas and denies any genocidal intent.
• The ICJ has previously ordered provisional measures for humanitarian aid and basic services in Gaza.
• Israel contends its actions target Hamas militants, not civilians, and accuses South Africa of misrepresenting facts.
• A decision on South Africa's latest request for emergency measures is expected next week.
