South Africa will head to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in October to present evidence to prove that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine.
Israel has repeatedly dismissed claims of genocide, as deadly attacks continue.
South Africa’s case against Israel has been joined by Nicaragua, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya and Colombia.
“South Africa will be filing its memorial to the ICJ next month. This case will continue until the court makes a finding. While the case is in progress, we hope that Israel will abide by the court’s provisional orders issued to date,” the Presidency said on Wednesday.
In July the ICJ concluded that Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is unlawful and that it is under an obligation to bring to an end its unlawful presence as rapidly as possible.
