ICJ rules that SA has prima facie genocide case against Israel

THE HAGUE -  The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has concluded that Israel has committed some of the acts alleged by South Africa.

ICJ president, Judge Joan Donoghue says the court has found that there is a prima facie case of genocide. 

The ICJ has ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent additional killing in Gaza.

That is in accordance with its Genocide Convention responsibilities.

The court called for the unconditional release of all hostages

Meanwhile South Africa welcomes the provisional measures ordered by the ICJ in The Hague.

However, the ANC National Executive Committee meeting in Johannesburg, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana says government is under no illusion Israel could defy the verdict.
