South Africa Takes Israel To International Court

The move that could change the course of the war in Gaza

South Africa has taken a significant and unprecedented legal step by filing a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza. This bold action comes after nearly three months of intense Israeli bombardment in Gaza, which has reportedly resulted in over 21,500 deaths and widespread destruction.

How this court case isn’t front page news right now, I have no idea. Regardless here we are, it’s happening and it says a lot about the way this conflict is being handled. Now let’s look at the reasons why this matters and how it might be the most impactful event since this war started.
