JOHANNESBURG, Oct 29 — South Africa has filed “evidence” of a “genocide” committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip with the International Court of Justice, the office of President Cyril Ramaphosa said yesterday.

The document “contains evidence which shows how the government of Israel has violated the genocide convention by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza”, the presidency said in a statement, amid claims vehemently denied by Israel.

An official for the Hague-based court on Monday confirmed it had received the document, but declined to give further detail.

“The evidence will show that undergirding Israel’s genocidal acts is the special intent to commit genocide, a failure by Israel to prevent incitement to genocide, to prevent genocide itself and its failure to punish those inciting and committing acts of genocide,” said the presidency.

The “memorial” — the name of the document detailing South Africa’s case against Israel before the ICJ — cannot be made public but laid out evidence in “over 750 pages of text, supported by exhibits and annexes of over 4,000 pages”, it added.

South Africa in December brought a case before the ICJ, arguing the war in Gaza breached the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention, an accusation Israel has strongly denied.

Several nations have added their weight to South Africa’s proceedings against Israel, including Spain, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Turkey, Chile and Libya.

While ICJ rulings are legally binding, the court has no concrete means to enforce them.

Israel’s Gaza campaign has killed at least 43,020 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-ruled territory’s health ministry, which the UN considers reliable.

The offensive was prompted by Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack which resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures that include hostages killed in captivity.

Out of 251 hostages seized by during the attack, 97 are still held in Gaza, including 34 whom the Israeli military says are dead. — AFP
