"Israel Faces Genocide Accusations at ICJ Hearing"

Israel rejects South Africa's accusations of genocide in Gaza at the ICJ, claiming it seeks to protect its people and has a plausible right to self-defense. South Africa argues that Israel's actions amount to systematic genocide, citing overwhelming evidence of genocidal intent. The ICJ is set to rule on provisional measures seeking the suspension of military operations in Gaza, with Israel arguing against the court's jurisdiction and procedural arguments. The court will announce its decision in the coming days.
