South Africa accuses Israel of ignoring the ICJ ruling  

 

South Africa accuses Israel of ignoring the International Court of Justice in The Hague (ICJ) temporary ruling last week, AP reports.  

 

- Hundreds of people have been killed in the last three or four days. Israel apparently thinks they can do as they please.  

 

According to the ICJ, Israel must take immediate measures to prevent the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and ensure that genocide is not committed. Instead, hundreds of civilians have been killed within days.  

 

South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor is questioning the fact that the ICC has not issued an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a separate case brought by South Africa.  

 

According to the latest figures from Gaza's health ministry, which is controlled by Hamas, 26,700 people have been killed. The figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants, but the majority of those killed are believed to be women and children.
