Israel defends itself against genocide allegations at the International Court of Justice

Published: 12 January 2024 at 05:58

Israel is mounting a robust defense against South Africas accusations of genocide in Gaza at the International Court of Justice. The country is typically critical of the UN and other international bodies, but it is now vigorously defending itself. Israels defense is being led by Malcolm Shaw, a veteran British lawyer. The case is expected to take years to resolve, but South Africa is seeking an immediate suspension of Israels military offensive in Gaza.
