Pretoria before ICJ: Hamas’ attack cannot justify Israel's 'violation' for genocide agreement

On Thursday, South Africa accused Israel before the International Court of Justice of violating the agreement to prevent the crime of genocide and punish it, considering that the attack by Hamas on October 7 cannot justify its commission in the Gaza Strip.  

"No armed attack on the lands of a country, whatever its danger (...), can provide any justification for the violations of the agreement," said Justice Minister Ronald Lamola in The Hague.
