The military incursion by Israel that began on October 7, 2023, has resulted in the deaths of more than 21,500 Palestinians in Gaza. This operation has raised genocide allegations internationally and sparked contentious debates about human rights violations.
South Africa has filed a litigation against Israel at the International Tribunal of Justice (ICJ) on charges of 'genocide crimes.' The case alleges that Israel has deliberately orchestrated a systematic strategy to destroy the Palestinian people.
Saudi Arabia and other countries have strongly condemned these atrocities by Israel and have condemned it as 'genocide.' On the other hand, Israel has categorically refuted these allegations and described their operation as legitimate self-defense.
The UN's top adjudicative body has begun deliberations on this case, which will establish an important jurisprudential benchmark for the international community. This situation has created a deep humanitarian catastrophe worldwide and various countries have called for a diplomatic resolution.
