South Africa files new request before the ICJ against the Rafah offensive. Pretoria said it was "gravely concerned" by the new "massacres, injuries and large-scale destruction" that Israel's military offensive in Rafah will cause.
According to the South African government, this “would constitute a serious and irreparable violation of the Genocide Convention” The ICJ, which is not required to take up the case, has not confirmed at this stage that it has received the file.
