Naledi Pandor, South Africa's foreign minister, said Tuesday that Israel had defied a January ruling by the ICJ that it should take action to prevent acts of genocide as it fights Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
WASHINGTON - South Africa's top diplomat on Tuesday accused Israel of setting a precedent for leaders to defy the top UN court, as she again alleged a campaign of"starvation" in Gaza.
"The provisional measures have been entirely ignored by Israel," Pandor said at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace during a visit to the US capital, Washington. She said that South Africa's post-apartheid democracy - in going through international institutions - was"merely practicing what is preached to us every day" by the West.
