South African lawyers at the ICJ accuse Israel of orchestrating a genocidal plan against Gaza, asserting that the intent to destroy originates at the highest levels of the Israeli state.

Plea for Ceasefire

South Africa appeals to the ICJ to order Israel to halt military operations in Gaza, citing daily irreparable losses for the Palestinian people and emphasizing the urgency for intervention.

Israel's Defense

Israel vehemently rejects the accusations, deeming them baseless. The defense, scheduled for Friday, will stress the justification of actions as responses to Hamas attacks and assert Israel's commitment to fighting terrorism.

ICJ Dynamics

Global Reactions

Outside the ICJ, clashes erupt between Palestinian and Israeli supporters. South Africa draws parallels with its anti-apartheid struggle, while Israel defends its actions under humanitarian law.

Long-Term Implications

While the ICJ may quickly rule on suspending Israel's military campaign, a final verdict on the genocide accusation may take years. The court's opinions carry weight with the UN and other international institutions. The outcome remains highly anticipated on the global stage.
