SA presented a distorted picture of Gaza situation, Israel tells ICJ

CAPE TOWN - Israel said South Africa had presented a distorted picture of the situation in Gaza in its latest request to the International Court of Justice to order a stop to Israel's assault on Rafah.

He said that instead of South Africa repeatedly returning to the court, the focus should be on getting Hamas to accept a ceasefire deal.Israel said that for the ICJ to accede to South Africa's request for additional measures would be akin to siding with Hamas, which can't be held accountable by the court.

He told the court that Israel is doing all it could to protect civilian lives and to provide them with the necessary aid.Noam said that it would be untenable to deny Israel the right to defend itself from the assault waged by Hamas on Israeli targets.
