President Cyril Ramaphosa’s spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya. File Picture: Oupa Mokoena/Independent Media The year-long on-ground and air bombing campaign by Israeli forces intent on obliterating Hamas has led to the tragic loss of thousands of lives, including innocent children. Analysts say even though Israel has not adhered to the spirit of the three provisional measures orders issued by the International Court of Justice, South Africa’s case has not been in vain.
Kisla underlined that the ICJ is limited to State versus State matters, yet Israel insists its case is against the militant Hamas group, which then limits the jurisdiction of the international court.
