ICJ to hear South Africa's genocide case against Israel

In a landmark case, Israel will appear before the International Court of Justice at The Hague to challenge South Africa's genocide accusations regarding its onslaught on Gaza. In an 84-page submission to the ICJ, South Africa argues that Israel is violating its obligations under the 1948 convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide.
