Previously, the South African government filed a complaint against the Zionist regime for committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands. The International Court of Justice hearings on this complaint took place on 11 and 12 January, and the representative of South Africa and the country's legal team specifically emphasized that the Zionist regime has intensified massacres and genocide and the massacre of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by the Zionist regime must be stopped.
