SOUTH AFRICA TAKES ISRAEL TO THE HAGUE!

The International Criminal Court has, till now, mainly been an instrument used to target Africans. But South Africa, and others, are now putting it to the test.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says they’ve referred Israel to The Hague - arguing that Tel Aviv is guilty of war crimes in Gaza, which he describes as a ‘concentration camp’ where women and children are ‘dying like flies.’ He has accused Israel of committing genocide.

Israel (like the US) is not signed up to the ICC, but the Palestinian authorities joined in 2015. The court has asserted that its mandate applies to the current war in Gaza.

Do you think Israel will ever be held to account at The Hague?
