South Africa ICJ genocide case against Israel

Overview

South Africa has submitted a formal document to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging that Israel has failed to comply with binding provisional measures. The submission, made under Article 11 of the ICJ’s Decision on Internal Judicial Application, claims that since a ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025, Israeli violations have resulted in over 1,300 Palestinian deaths and 4,330 injuries. The South African Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation further alleged that Israel is preventing UN investigative bodies and foreign journalists from entering the Gaza Strip.

Following this submission, Amnesty International urged the international community to pressure Israel. The organization stated that Israeli authorities continue to cause “irreparable damage to Palestinian rights protected under the Genocide Convention” despite court orders issued in early 2024. Amnesty also criticized other states for failing to enforce these measures, suggesting some provide support that enables Israel’s actions.
