"Alan Dershowitz and Israel's Battle Against South Africa's Genocide Claims at the ICJ"

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz may represent Israel in the International Court of Justice to defend against accusations of genocide made by South Africa. The case, which alleges Israeli military operations in Gaza amount to genocide, has been dismissed by Dershowitz as baseless, arguing that Israel is targeting Hamas, not civilians. This marks a shift in Israel's approach to international legal challenges, as they typically have not engaged with such accusations in the past. The first hearing is scheduled for January 11.
