Day 2: ICJ genocide hearing against Israel | BBC Africa

Israel has called on judges at the International Court of Justice to throw out the case brought by South Africa alleging that it is committing genocide in Gaza. On the second and final day of hearings at the UN's highest Court, lawyers acting for Israel argued that demands made by South Africa on Thursday for a stop to the offensive in Gaza lacked any merit and were based on a profoundly distorted factual and legal picture. The ICJ will deliver only an opinion on the genocide allegation as the case is not a criminal trial, although it is being closely watched.
