Israel has appointed British lawyer Malcolm Shaw to represent it at the International Court of Justice where this week it will fight genocide allegations, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat told CNN Sunday.
It’s been three months since the devastating Hamas attack that sparked Israel’s war in Gaza, and the deadly fighting has led to a dire humanitarian crisis in the area.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said on Saturday that at least 20,258 people had been killed in the Palestinian territory since the start of war with Israel on October 7.
