South Africa files charges against Israel for genocide

South Africa has filed a case before the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. South Africa's filing states that Israel's actions, including killing and causing harm to Palestinians, are genocidal in nature, with the aim of destroying a substantial part of the Palestinian group. Israel and the US have dismissed the charges, but international lawyer Francis Boyle predicts that South Africa will win a temporary restraining order against Israel. This is significant as it could lead to a ceasefire and potential legal ramifications for the US, which has been supporting Israel.
