During hearings held by the International Court of Justice over measures to stop Israel's military operation in Rafah, South Africa urged the top U.N. court to order a cease-fire in Gaza.
The country’s ambassador to the Netherlands, Vusimuzi Madonsela, urged the panel of 15 international judges to order Israel to "totally and unconditionally withdraw" from the Gaza Strip.
The court has already found that there is a "real and imminent risk" to the Palestinian people in Gaza by Israel’s military operations. "This may well be the last chance for the court to act," said Irish lawyer Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, who is part of South Africa’s legal team.
