Today, Friday, the International Court of Justice resumed its sessions to try Israel on charges of committing “genocide” crimes in the Gaza Strip, based on a lawsuit filed by the State of South Africa and supported by dozens of countries, in a historical precedent in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

In today's session, the court will hear Israel's response, the "occupying power," to the lawsuit filed against it by South Africa.

Yesterday, Thursday, the International Court of Justice began its first session to try Israel on charges of committing “genocide” crimes in the Gaza Strip, as South Africa submitted to the court an elaborate 84-page file, in which it collected evidence of Israel’s killing of thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and the creation of conditions “ Prepared to inflict physical destruction on them,” which is considered a crime of “genocide” against them.

The hearings dealt exclusively with South Africa's request for urgent action ordering Israel to suspend its military operations in the Gaza Strip.

The court sessions began with an introductory pleading presented by the South African State Attorney and Minister of Justice, Ronald Lamola, followed by the South African representative’s pleading before the court.

The lawsuit filed by South Africa before the International Court of Justice against Israel, the occupying power, received Arab and international support and support.

Since the seventh of last October, the occupation has launched a devastating aggression against the Gaza Strip, leaving an infinite toll of more than 23,000 dead and 59,000 injured, more than 70% of whom are women and children, and more than 7,000 people missing under the rubble, in addition to massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented health and humanitarian disaster.
