The International Court of Justice will hear South Africa's demand to halt Israel's offensive in Rafah.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will consider South Africa's appeal for additional emergency measures forcing Israel to withdraw from Gaza's Rafah City. South Africa's claim is part of a complaint filed against Israel, alleging it of violating the Genocide Convention in Gaza. Israel denies the accusations. In January, the court issued its first emergency measures in the case, directing Israel to ensure that its troops do not conduct genocidal actions against Palestinians in Gaza, to allow in additional humanitarian aid, and to preserve any evidence of violations. The May 16 and 17 hearings will exclusively address the new emergency measures. It will likely be years before the court can rule on the case's merits. William Schabas is a Middlesex University professor of international law specializing in human rights and international criminal law. He claims that South Africa's plea for a renewed court ruling is intended to prevent Israel from destroying the Gaza Strip.
