Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that hypocrisy and lies were displayed at the UN’s highest judicial body.
He said that South Africa’s claim accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza is an event that could only occur in a world turned upside-down.
“We are fighting terrorists, we are fighting lies,” Netanyahu said. “Today we saw an upside-down world. Israel is accused of genocide while it is fighting against genocide.”
