Israel expecting ICJ to toss out ‘spurious’ genocide charges
Israel is voicing confidence that the International Court of Justice will throw out South African allegations that the Gaza war amounts to genocide against Palestinians, which an Israeli government spokesperson describes as without basis.
“We expect the ICJ to throw out these spurious and specious charges,” the spokesperson, Eylon Levy, says in a briefing.
The court is scheduled to convene tomorrow to announce whether it will grant emergency measures against Israel over its war against Hamas.
