South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide at International Court

South Africa submits extensive evidence to the ICJ, alleging Israel's actions in Gaza violate the Genocide Convention.

South Africa has filed a detailed legal document with the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The submission includes over 4,000 pages of evidence, aiming to prove Israel's intent to depopulate Gaza through extreme violence and forced displacement.
Israel has denied the allegations, labeling the case as 'blood libel' and has until July 2025 to respond to the accusations.
Several countries, including Spain, Chile, and Palestine, have joined South Africa in the case, which could set a precedent in international law.
The case is noted for its real-time documentation of alleged genocidal acts, which experts say could influence international relations and arms embargoes against Israel.
