After the first two days of hearings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Israel continues to defend its military operation in Gaza as an act of self-defense in response to the October 7th Hamas terror attacks. A South African delegation argued that Israel’s offensive was going beyond that. To them, it is an attempt to destroy the Palestinians as a people – claims that amount to genocide. Now the German federal government says it will request to join the case as a third party – in support of Israel. Berlin says there is ‘no basis’ for South Africa’s accusations.
