The International Court of Justice is weighing South Africa's request to impose a new emergency provision ordering Israel to halt it military operations in Rafah. The court held hearings last week on the request, which is part of an ongoing case brought by Pretoria accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention in its war against Hamas in Gaza.  Israel has lambasted South Africa  over what it termed Pretoria’s “outrageous distortions” of the truth and “abuse” of the court’s procedures. Retired ambassador Alan Baker, a former legal advisor to Israel's foreign ministry, spoke to KAN's Naomi Segal about the latest developments in the case.
