South Africa’s ICJ application relates to alleged violations by Israel of its obligations under the Genocide Convention. The claim ‘lacks both a factual and a legal basis,’ Israel said on Friday.
Israel’s foreign ministry on Friday said it “rejects with disgust” a case launched by South Africa at the International Court of Justice against what it called Israel’s “genocidal” acts in Gaza.
“Israel rejects with disgust the blood libel spread by South Africa and its application” to the ICJ, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Lior Haiat wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
