00:00 Judges at the International Court of Justice will rule on Friday whether or not they will
00:05 grant emergency measures against Israel following accusations by South Africa that the Israeli
00:10 military operation in Gaza is a state-led genocide.
00:15 The United Nations' top court issued a statement on Wednesday, saying the 17-judge panel will
00:21 hand down its ruling in court on January 26 at 12 GMT.
00:26 Earlier this month, in two days of hearings, South Africa asked the ICJ, also known as
00:31 the World Court, to order an emergency suspension of Israel's devastating military campaign
00:37 in the Palestinian enclave.
00:39 Israel dismissed the genocide allegations as "grossly distorted" and said it had a right
00:44 to defend itself and was targeting Hamas fighters, not Palestinian civilians.
