Africa: South Africa Is Taking Israel to Court for Genocide in Palestine. What Does It Mean for the War in Gaza?

[ad_1] South Africa has taken Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ, also known as the World Court) in The Hague claiming genocide has been committed against Palestinians during the Gaza conflict.
