Germany weighs in on South Africa's 'genocide' case against Israel at ICJ | DW News

After the first two days of hearings at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Israel continues to defend its military operation in Gaza as an act of self-defense in response to the October 7th Hamas terror attacks. A South African delegation argued that Israel's offensive was going beyond that. To them, it is an attempt to destroy the Palestinians as a people - claims that amount to genocide. Now the German federal government says it will request to join the case as a third party - in support of Israel. Berlin says there is 'no basis' for South Africa's accusations.
