Formal Response Filed in ICJ Genocide Case.

The South African government has officially noted the filing of Israel’s response in the ongoing legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice. This marks a critical procedural step in the case regarding the Genocide Convention in Gaza. After several extensions granted by the court, South Africa will now review the response to decide if further written submissions are necessary before the oral phase begins. President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized that the crisis represents a moment to unite humanity and uphold the multilateral system, reaffirming South Africa's commitment to the UN Charter despite growing global divisions.
