When South Africa brought its case before the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide, its attorneys made these allegations.
Additionally, South Africa requested that the court compel Israel to stop its military actions in Gaza.
Israel has fiercely denounced the charges as “baseless” and will make its defense on Friday.
Though it is being closely monitored, the court will only provide an opinion regarding the genocide allegation.
The International Court of Justice was informed by Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, an attorney for the South African High Court, that Israel’s “genocidal intent” was apparent “from the way in which this military attack is being conducted.”
“The intent to destroy Gaza has been nurtured at the highest level of the state,” he stated.
