Unexpected Challenges For Israel

In a classic case of not forgetting the hardships and indignities the black people in South Africa suffered during the apartheid rule by a white minority, South Africa in the other week moved the International Court of Justice to call for a cease fire to the ongoing “genocide” in Gaza. Later, Uganda supported the South African initiative. In its verdict on Friday, the Hague-based ICC directed Israel to prevent acts of genocide. The ruling is a big setback for Tel Aviv and also an indirect rap against foreign supporters of the Benjamin Netanyahu government.
