The case was initiated by South Africa and has been ongoing at the ICJ for the past four days. The current conflict escalated with Israel’s invasion and subsequent strikes on the blockaded Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of over 28,000 Palestinians thus far.
Following an attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, during which over 240 people were taken hostage, Israel declared war on the group.
