Israel To Face Gaza Genocide Charges At World Court Today as War Rages Against Hamas

Gaza: Israel will on Thursday face charges at the top UN court against accusations of genocide in Gaza, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rebuffed for the first time calls by some right-wing ministers to permanently occupy the enclave.

Amid intensified war in Gaza, the International Court of Justice in The Hague, also known as the World Court, will hold hearings on Thursday and Friday in a case brought by South Africa in December claiming Israel’s war against Hamas militants in Gaza violates the 1948 Genocide Convention.

Speaking to news agency Reuters, Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy said Israel will appear before the International Court of Justice to dispel South Africa’s absurd blood libel, as Pretoria gives political and legal cover to the Hamas Rapist Regime.
