Israel Rejects Genocide Allegations at International Court of Justice

Deccan Chronicle  

Netherlands: Israel presented its case at the International Court of Justice on Thursday, and rejected allegations of genocide levelled by South Africa in connection with the ongoing war in Gaza, CNN reported. Israel accused South Africa of presenting a "profoundly distorted factual and legal picture," claiming that the entire case relied on a "deliberately curated, decontextualized, and manipulative description of the reality of current hostilities." Becker emphasised Israel's awareness of the historical context of the genocide convention, stating, "Seared in our collective memory is the systematic murder of six million Jews." South Africa had previously argued that Israel's leaders were "intent on destroying the Palestinians in Gaza" and called for a halt to the military campaign. In the coming days, the ICJ's panel of judges will decide whether to grant South Africa's request for "emergency measures," potentially leading to an order for Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza.
