New Year Donation Drive: Global Research Is Committed to the “Unspoken Truth”

South Africa is hopeful that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will find that “the killing of on average 1,000 people per day” in the besieged Gaza Strip is reason enough to meet the demands set out in its submission to the Court. 

Amongst the nine provisional measures that South Africa has called for, are most notably,  that Israel immediately suspend any military operations in or against Gaza, and that humanitarian aid be allowed in as quickly as possible.

“It’s the World Court, so its judgments, (it) doesn’t get higher than that,” the spokesperson for South Africa’s Minister of Justice, Ronald Lamola, told The Palestine Chronicle.
