of the icj, especially as south africa has referred that case to it. sorry, i couldn't hear the question. south africa has referred the israel's genocidal uh crimes to the icj, international court of justice. your thoughts on that please. yes, because what is being happening in gaza, this forcing the palestinian people into starvation, forcing them to to leave their indigenous lands and ethnically cleansing them is a war crime and a genocide against humanity, so this action that has been taken by south africa should have been taken by the so so callalled
