Gaza war: How South Africa's genocide case against Israel is shaping up

New Indian Express  

Dublin: Over the past few days, South Africa has made its case at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing the Israeli government of committing genocide with its 100-day assault on Gaza. With the death toll approaching 24,000 in the Palestinian territory, South Africa's lawyers laid out the grounds on which they are accusing Israel of breaching the 1948 Genocide Convention, while Israel's legal team have presented their counter- arguments. South Africa's case is essentially that Israel's assault is “intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group, that being the part of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip”. Israel's president, Isaac Herzog, said everyone in Gaza was complicit in Hamas's terror attack on October 7: “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, dropped heavy hints with repeated references to Bible history when he invoked references to God's exhortation to Israel to deal harshly with one of its enemies, to “blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven”. Opening for Israel, Tal Becker, legal adviser of the ministry of foreign affairs, argued that South Africa was “asking the UN court to substitute the lens of an armed conflict between a state and a lawless terrorist organisation with the lens of a so-called ‘genocide' of a state against a civilian population”.
