South Africa’s Court Case Accusing Israel of Genocide is ‘Meritless’ – US

South Africa’s complaint against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has been dismissed by the United States.

In the complaint that was submitted at the ICJ last week, South Africa contended that Israel is carrying out “genocidal” acts in Gaza.

“As pertains the United States, we are not seeing any acts that constitute genocide,” US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller on Wednesday.

Additionally, according to John Kirby, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, the US views the case as “meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever” on Wednesday.

Israel dismissed the genocide accusation made by South Africa, calling it “blood libel” and “baseless”.

In the current crisis, South Africa is supporting the Palestinians, while the US has provided Israel with military support and weaponry.
