South Africa Takes Israel to The Hague: ‘We Charge You With Genocide’

South Africa has filed a historic case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the main judicial body for the United Nations, for crimes of genocide against Palestinian people in Gaza.

Khulekani Skosana, a National Executive Committee Member of the South Africa Youth Council, discusses the significant move by the South African government and how South Africans draw from their own experience living in an apartheid state, to stand in solidarity with Palestinians.

“We know how important international solidarity is when innocent lives are being lost… South Africa will challenge Israel and any oppressor anywhere in the world.”
