Upset Netanyahu Government Blasts South Africa after World Court Rejects Plea on Israeli Op in Rafah

Israel criticizes South Africa as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejects a plea to limit Israeli operations in Rafah, sparking tensions. South Africa's request for additional measures to deter a potential Israeli military operation in Rafah is denied by the court. The ICJ urges Israel to adhere to its orders for protecting Palestinians' lives in Gaza. The Foreign Ministry strongly condemns South Africa for seeking restrictions on Israeli military actions in Rafah, accusing it of acting as the legal arm of Hamas and advancing terrorist interests. Israel asserts its right to protect citizens, uphold international law, facilitate humanitarian aid transfer, and prevent harm to civilians. The ICJ had previously ordered Israel to take measures preventing its troops from committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
