“The glaring genocide in Gaza is there for all who are not blinded by prejudice to see.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

28 Oct 2024 <\/em>– South Africa filed 750 pages of “overwhelming” proof that Israel<\/a> is committing genocide in Gaza<\/a> to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands today, the deadline for submitting final evidence in the ongoing trial.<\/p>\n

South African Ambassador to the Netherlands Vusi Madonsela delivered the legal document\u2014known as a memorial\u2014to the ICJ headquarters in the Dutch city. Under the court’s rules, the contents of the memorial cannot be made public at this time.<\/p>\n

According to a statement<\/a> from the office of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the memorial is a “comprehensive presentation of the overwhelming evidence of genocide in Gaza.”<\/p>\n

The office said the document “contains evidence which shows how the government of Israel has violated the Genocide Convention<\/a> by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza, physically killing them with an assortment of destructive weapons, depriving them access to humanitarian assistance, causing conditions of life which are aimed at their physical destruction, and ignoring<\/a> and defying<\/a> several provisional measures<\/a> of the International Court of Justice, and using starvation<\/a> as a weapon of war and to further Israel’s aims to depopulate Gaza through mass death and forced displacement of Palestinians.”<\/p>\n
