Israel presented its response to SA's genocide case against it at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday.

SA accused Israel on Thursday of carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

A team of prominent lawyers, aided by Irish and British counterparts, were in the Netherlands to make the case to the ICJ bench of 15 judges.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, holds public hearings on the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by South Africa in the case South Africa v. Israel.
