South Africa has initiated a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing the nation of genocide. The ICJ's decision on provisional measures is immediately binding, final, and not subject to appeal. The case has been described as 'the first crack in Israel's armor of impunity', with expectations that International Criminal Court war-crime charges may follow. Criticism has been directed at the ANC government for focusing on this international legal battle instead of domestic issues such as water shortages. South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has stated that South African nationals who join the Israeli forces to fight in Gaza will be prosecuted upon their return. This case may have significant implications for global perceptions of Israel and for the legal protection of anti-Zionist beliefs.
