"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.

"Israel Prepares Defense Against Genocide Claims at The Hague"

Israel has decided to defend itself at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against accusations of genocide in Gaza, filed by South Africa. The case alleges that Israel's military campaign against Hamas has resulted in genocide, as defined under international law. Israel, which typically dismisses international tribunals as biased, is taking the accusations seriously due to potential reputational damage. The case could have significant implications for international law and Israel's global standing, with provisional measures to be ruled on by the court in the coming weeks.
