The International Court of Justice (ICJ) holds public hearings in the case South Africa v. Israel. Lawyers representing Israel at the International Court of Justice will on Friday table their arguments in a case brought by South Africa in which Israel is accused of committing crimes against humanity on Palestinian people.
South Africa instituted proceedings at the ICJ in December against Israel over alleged genocide in its retaliatory strikes against Hamas in Gaza since early October last year, which have left thousands of Palestinian civilians dead.
The matter is being heard at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.
