South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide at UN Court

Israel Responds to Allegations with Disgust, Calls Case a 'Blood Libel'

South Africa has filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of committing genocide in its military campaign in Gaza.
South Africa's application describes Israel's actions as 'genocidal in character' and calls for the court to issue 'provisional measures' calling for a ceasefire.
The ICJ case is likely to take years to resolve, but it could significantly sway international public opinion.
Israel has responded to the allegations 'with disgust', calling South Africa's case a 'blood libel' and urging the ICJ to reject it.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is already investigating possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by both Hamas and Israel.
