South Africa declared its rejection of the Israeli accusations directed at United Nations institutions, particularly the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). This came in press statements.
Palestinian Foreign Ministry and Hamas accuse South Africa of being the "legal arm" of Hamas. International Court of Justice adjourned its first session after hearing South Africa's pleading. Israeli Foreign Ministry claimed that what happened in The Hague represents the greatest hypocrisy in history. Israeli press confirmed that there is a serious fear in the Israeli security and prosecutorial institutions that the international court of Justice will charge Israel with genocide. The court will hear the merits that could take up to 84 years to resolve. The hearing will be held on October 7.
