FM Katz remarks on the ICJ hearing ( International Court of Justice in The Hague)
FM Katz: There is no basis for South Africa's claims against Israel. On the contrary, no evidence was presented, only evidence of a moral defensive war.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz at the end of the hearing at the International Court of Justice in The Hague: "The Israeli delegation revealed the true face of South Africa as a loyal representative of a terrorist organization that inhumanely slaughtered babies, children, women, and adults.
"When it concerns Israel, it seems that the double standards of some of the countries of the world scream to the heavens.
“There is no basis for South Africa's claims against Israel. On the contrary, no evidence was presented, only evidence of a moral defensive war.
“South Africa itself violates the Genocide Convention by supporting the terrorist organization Hamas, which calls for the elimination of the State of Israel.
“I called the legal advisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to thank him and the members of the Israeli legal team for their impressive appearance that undermined all the hypocritical arguments of South Africa and revealed its true face as a loyal representative of a terrorist organization that inhumanely slaughtered babies, children, women, and adults.
“I hope the complaint will be dismissed outright and justice will prevail.”
