South Africa tells ICJ genocide in Gaza is 'ongoing'

Vusi Madonsela, South Africa’s ambassador to the Netherlands, said in his opening remarks at the International Court of Justice hearing that the genocide in Gaza is "ongoing".

He added that South Africa's fourth submission to the court was triggered not only by the offensive in Rafah but by an intensification of the Israeli assault across Gaza in the last few days.
