South Africa shows a firmer stance in today’s ICJ hearing: Analysis
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) heard arguments regarding South Africa's request for additional emergency measures in response to Israel's offensive on Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where over one million displaced Palestinians sought shelter during the conflict. According to human rights lawyer Geoffrey Nice, South Africa's statements at the ICJ hearing marked a significant shift, asserting that Israel's actions demonstrate "genocidal intent" towards Gaza. Initially adopting a softer stance due to Hamas attacks, South Africa now alleges that Israel aims to destroy Gaza and its people. The court may identify an increased risk of genocide, potentially resulting in the protective measures requested by South Africa.

South Africa is doing more that the major Arab countries combined :Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordon.

Geoffrey Nice makes an excellent point about this being a case for the law and the ICJ, not for politics at the UNSC.
And what more evidence does this court need to gather? To give Israel more time, is to allow them to finish what they have started, which equals complicity to its g-cide.

5:30 He is wrong there. Israel did not have to be like this. They could have settled there without throwing Palestinians out, they could have bought land and houses instead of stealing them, there could have been a single state with more than one nation in it, as there are so many in the world.

I don't agree on what Israel is doing in the Gaza but why has nobody demanded for Hamas to surrender?? It is as if October the 7th never happened. In my opinion Hamas is just as much to blame as Israel for the suffering that the Palestine people are going through.

Thank you South Africa
occupation has no right to defence it should be kicked off if you want to do justice
As an Ethiopian 🇪🇹 I am appaled at the lack of Palestinian/Arab/Middle Easterner/Muslim (in that particular order) gratitude towards South Africa in their pointless effort and naive ide of solidarity argueing, defending, and protecting these ungrateful racist people(against us Black/sub-Saharan Africans). Don't believe me? Just look up 'Racism Againt 'Afro-Palestinians' and 'Arab on Black Violence' and you'll know.
❤❤❤ to South Africa for stand with humanity
God bless South Africa for its bravery and speaking on behalf of Voiceless Palestinians. The history will never be forgotten about South Africa and its effort to defend and help voiceless Palestinians. So, The victory of Palestine is much closer than expected. Justice for Palestine and Long life South African Nation.
Pity Arab leaders care more about buying their 10th Ferrari to park in their 20th mansion paid for by the Petrodollar, than they do about defending their supposed brothers.
