South Africa accuses Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians

South Africa has filed a case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of failing to uphold its obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention. The hearings are set to determine whether it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide and whether provisional measures should be taken. South Africa argues that the bombings and destruction in Gaza, along with evidence of intent to commit genocide, support their case. Much will depend on the politics of the ICJ judges, with the involvement of key nations like the US, UK, Russia, China, and France influencing the outcome.
