The UN's top court will hear from Israel today as it responds to charges of genocide over its actions in Gaza brought by South Africa.

The bad-blood between prime minister and defence minister is no secret, but thrusting it into the open in this way was a dramatic move. That's what insurgencies do, but Netanyahu seemingly failed to foresee it. How often, in wars past, have we seen militant forces fade away in the face of a superior army, only to return later, alive to fight another day.

What is needed is an alternative to Hamas, another option for governing Gaza. That would put pressure on the group and create a political pathway for Arab states, and the West, to coalesce around. Israel has portrayed Rafah as the last stronghold of the militant group, brushing off warnings from the United States and other allies that any major operation there would be catastrophic for civilians.
