South Africa applauds the recent ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), calling on Israel to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza. President Cyril Ramaphosa expresses hope that this decision will pave the way for a ceasefire. The South African Ministry of Foreign Affairs celebrates the ruling as a decisive victory for international rule of law and a crucial step towards justice for the Palestinian people. Join us for an in-depth analysis of the ICJ's decision and its potential impact on the situation in Gaza.
In the meantime, Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has slammed the South Africa genocide case as "outrageous" after the UN court's Gaza ruling. South Africa had brought the case against Israel, accusing it of breaching the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, set up in the ashes of World War II and the Holocaust. President Cyril Ramaphosa and the council of South Africa's governing party erupted in cheers after the ruling, which the foreign ministry hailed as a decisive victory. However, Netanyahu had already suggested he does not feel bound by the court, saying no one will stop Israel.
