Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will rule on Friday on South Africa’s request to order a halt to Israel’s Rafah offensive in Gaza, it said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In hearings last week South Africa asked the ICJ, also known as the World Court, to order a halt to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, and in Rafah in particular, to ensure the \u201csurvival\u201d of the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n

The demand for such an emergency measure is part of a larger case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of genocide.<\/p>\n

Israel has denounced South Africa’s claim that it is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention, saying it makes a mockery of the crime of genocide.<\/p>\n

The court has previously rejected Israel’s demand to throw out the case and has ordered it to prevent acts of genocide against the Palestinians.<\/p>\n
