00:00 Israel firmly denies allegations of state-led genocide in Gaza bought by South Africa at

00:08 the International Court of Justice.

00:11 The Israeli government labels the accusations as "grossly distorted" and urges judges

00:17 to dismiss South Africa's request for an immediate halt to its military operation.

00:22 In the ongoing conflict, Israel refutes South Africa's claims that its military operation

00:28 in Gaza, responsible for extensive destruction and over 23,000 casualties, constitutes a

00:35 state-led genocide campaign.

00:37 Israel's Foreign Ministry's legal adviser, Tal Becker, dismisses South Africa's interpretation

00:44 at the International Court of Justice.

00:46 According to Becker, if there are acts of genocide, they have been perpetrated against

00:52 Israel, asserting that Hamas seeks genocide against the country.

00:57 In response to a cross-border rampage by Hamas militants on October 7, Israel initiated a

01:02 comprehensive offensive in Gaza.

01:05 Israeli officials reported approximately 1,200 casualties, predominantly civilians, with

01:11 240 individuals taken hostage and returned to Gaza.

01:16 Israel asserts that the suffering of both Israeli and Palestinian civilians stems from

01:21 Hamas's strategic actions.

01:23 Tal Becker, the legal adviser to Israel's Foreign Ministry, emphasised Israel's right

01:28 to self-defence.

01:29 Hamas denies Israeli claims of militants hiding among civilians.

01:34 Israel asserts that its conflict with Hamas is a defensive measure, not aimed at the Palestinian

01:41 people.

01:42 According to Tal Becker, the Foreign Ministry's legal adviser, the crucial element of genocide,

01:47 intent to destroy a people, in whole or in part, is absent.

01:52 As these arguments unfold at the International Court of Justice, Palestinian supporters waving

01:58 flags march through the Hague, expressing their disagreement.

02:03 In response to South Africa's plea to halt the Gaza military operation, Israel contends

02:08 that such a move would undermine its inherent right to self-defence, leaving the nation

02:13 defenceless.

02:14 Israel dismisses the application as a "libel" orchestrated by South Africa.

02:20 The International Court of Justice is anticipated to decide on potential emergency measures

02:26 later this month, but the verdict on the genocide allegations may take years.

02:32 Meanwhile, supporters from both the sides gather in the Hague as tensions rise over

02:36 this complex legal battle.

02:39 Stay tuned for further developments.
