A second day of hearings into the legality of Israel’s 56-year occupation of Palestinian territory is underway at the United Nations’ highest court.
After Palestine put forward its case on Monday, 51 countries are presenting their arguments over the rest of the week.
The representative of South Africa compared the Israeli occupation to apartheid.
He said the ICJ's hearings could help bring an end to a system of racial oppression, that had no place in the modern world.
South Africa has told the International Court of Justice on day two of public hearings into the legality of Israel's occupation, that racial oppression and apartheid cannot be allowed to continue.
Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the Netherlands said Israel's behaviour towards the Palestinians had no justification. He said they were being treated like objects that could be thrown away.
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, said that Israel's occupation, illegal settlement, and dispossession of Palestinians are root causes that must be addressed for real peace.
One can only hope the Saudi position at the ICJ is the same as the one Saudi Arabia makes to the United States and Israel in the future.
Because in the back corridors of power, we hear in the Western and Israeli media that Saudi Arabia is eager to normalise relations with Israel, that it’s more than happy just to sidestep the Palestinian issue, that all it says regarding the Palestinian question is lip service.
In the context of Gaza, in the context of genocide, in the context of Israel and the Middle East, in the context of the widening of the war, we can only talk of the US backing of Israel. Because without it, Israel would not have been able to carry out genocide, and it would not be able to stand up to the international community as we see it today at The Hague.

Ship with 19,000 Cattle Causes Stink in South Africa's Cape Town | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A ship carrying 19,000 cattle from Brazil to Iraq caused a stink in the South African city of Cape Town. The smell from the ship blanketed Cape Town. The cattle were stewing in more than two weeks worth of faeces and ammonia. The ordeal sheds a light on the global Livestock transport industry. Is there no way to transport animals without subjecting them to cruelty? Palki Sharma reports.

South Sudan has warned that it will crack down on illegal foreign exchange trading in its attempt to control inflation in the country. The local currency, the South Sudanese Pound, is continuously losing value against the U.S. dollar, and as a result, prices of basic commodities continue to rise.

'Peace is finally here' - that's the promise from South Sudan's president Salva Kiir after signing the latest power-sharing agreement with his rival.
Riek Machar has, once again, been sworn in as vice president.
Their rivalry triggered a civil war that's killed at least 400-thousand people and displaced millions.
Both sides are accused of recruiting child soldiers, mass rape and starving the South Sudanese people.
After two similar agreements collapsed, have Salva Kiir and Riek Machar finally got it right?

The presidential spokesperson Ateny Wek Ateny spoke on state radio that the president is alive and healthy after widely shared social media posts on Tuesday that claimed he had died.

The African Union has given the leaders of South Sudan 'one last chance' to form a government. The country has been locked in conflict since 2013 when President Salva Kiir fired his then Vice-President Riek Machar. He accused him of plotting a coup. The situation escalated in 2016 when fighting again erupted between forces loyal to the two men. A peace deal signed in September 2018 has never been implemented. Last week the two men failed to meet a deadline to form a unity government. In the five years of conflict, nearly 400,000 people have been killed and more than four million have fled the country.
