ICJ hearing briefly interrupted by protest
The Hague, Netherlands – AFP
The hearing at the International Court of Justice on Friday was briefly interrupted, as judges were listening to Israel’s concluding defence against charges of “genocide” from South Africa.
A woman shouting “liars” could be heard on the feed from the court, which then went down for less than a minute before restarting, the lawyer for Israel concluding her remarks.
Israel is facing charges of genocide of Palestinians in Gaza where it has killed more than 35,000 people, mostly women and children, since early October last year. The case was initiated by South Africa but other countries have joined it too.
