In reaction to South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, which began opening comments at the International Court of Justice, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “twisted world.”
The United Nations’ highest court opened hearings on South Africa’s claim that Israel’s fight with Hamas amounts to genocide against Palestinians on Thursday.
Israel strongly denied the claim.
Despite the fact that the case will most likely take years to conclude, South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice to seek an immediate halt to Israel’s military onslaught in Gaza.
“South Africa’s hypocrisy knows no bounds,” Netanyahu stated in a media speech from Tel Aviv.
“Where, and by whom, was South Africa when millions of people were murdered and displaced from their homes in Syria and Yemen?” “By Hamas’s partners,” he claimed.
