South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers, citing that similar actions in Africa would have prompted immediate warrants. Concurrently, South Africa has submitted an urgent request to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to mandate Israel to cease its military operations in Rafah, Gaza. The request includes a call for Israel to withdraw immediately and describes the military operations as genocidal, threatening the survival of 1.4 million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah. Additionally, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators has called on President Biden to fully utilize his authority if the ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli officials.
