CAPE TOWN - The International Court of Justice will hear oral arguments from South Africa and Israel later this week following government’s latest application for urgent, additional measures to address the conflict in Rafah.
South Africa will be expected to present its arguments in The Hague on Thursday afternoon, to be followed by Israel on Friday morning.On Friday, South Africa filed its third application seeking additional measures to be pronounced against Israel since the court ordered provisional measures against the state in January.The seven-month-long attacks on Gaza come in retaliation for the killing of over 1,000 people in Israel by Palestinian militant group, Hamas, last October.
While the ICJ ordered provisional measures against Israel in March, South Africa wants the court to consider modifying these and to impose additional interventions, arguing that this was necessitated by a change of circumstances. South Africa says the Israeli assault on Rafah is posing an extreme risk to humanitarian supplies and basic services in Gaza and consequently the survival of Palestinians.
