The Hamas attack on 7 October cannot justify Israel's "violation" of the Genocide Convention, South Africa said today at the International Court of Justice hearing on South Africa's charge of genocide against Israel.
Moreover, according to a South African lawyer - Adila Hassim - Israel's military operations in Gaza have pushed the population to the brink of famine. "The situation is such that experts now predict that more people in Gaza could die of starvation and disease" rather than direct military action, Hassim said.
