South Africa rejected the Israeli accusation
South Africa has reacted to Israel's accusation at the ICJ (International Court of Justice) that it is an ally of Hamas. He says this is a complete lie.
The purpose of the court case is to expose significant international crimes committed by Israel in Gaza, an official said.
South Africa has called it a campaign of genocide, pointing to evidence such as mass graves in Gaza, attacks on hospitals and the number of people killed since Israel's last appearance at the International Court of Justice.
South Africa says the court should use its position to end Israel's war on Gaza.
When South Africa's petition against Israel was heard at the International Court of Justice, South African lawyers argued that the Israeli military operation is ongoing in Rafah, the southern province of Gaza, and the International Court of Justice should order an immediate withdrawal from Rafah.
He said that the genocide of Palestinians has shocked the conscience of humanity. South Africa has come to the International Court of Justice to stop the genocide because Israel has erased Palestine from the world map. Couldn't do anything to stop her
