Israel calls on international justice to reject South Africa's request regarding Rafah. Israel launched an aggression against the Gaza Strip, which left tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women.

Tel Aviv appeared before the International Court of Justice to be tried on charges of “genocide” for the first time in its history. Determining whether Israel is indeed violating the Genocide Convention with its military campaign will likely take months, if not years. It is not yet clear when the judges will make a decision on the new request submitted by South Africa.
