Israel accuses South Africa of openly aligning itself with what Israel calls Hamas' rapist regime

Last week, South Africa launched a case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, alleging that Israel's military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide. In the 84-page suit South Africa details evidence of brutality being perpetrated in Gaza and asks the Court which resolves interstate disputes, to urgently declare that Israel has breached its responsibilities under international law since the 7th of October last year. South African government lawyers are preparing for the case to be heard on 11 and 12 of January. Meanwhile, Eylon Levy, Israeli spokesperson says Israel condemns the decision and that it will fight South Africa's claim that it is committing "genocidal" acts in Gaza.
