In November 2023, South Africa approached the International Court of Justice, to consider whether Israel is committing acts of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

It also called for an immediate ceasefire.

And on Friday, the 26th of January, the UN鈥檚 top court made its interim ruling.

It said, among other things, that Israel must do everything in its power to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza.

But the court did stop short of ordering an immediate halt to military operations.

So, what鈥檚 next? Will this ruling change anything in relation to the war in the Middle East?

Africa Daily鈥檚 Mpho Lakaje talks to Palestinian ambassador to South Africa, Hanan Jarrar, and Benji Shulman of the South African Zionist Federation.

He also sits down with Dr. Hlengiwe Ndlovu from the Wits School of Governance in Johannesburg, to unpack the recent developments.
