    Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan labels Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide

    Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan labels Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide

    In a recent development at the United Nations' top court, Israel categorically rejected accusations made by South Africa, dismissing them as "false" and "grossly distorted." The former Ambassador of Great Britain to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray expressed his opinion on the court hearings.

    People sit inside the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the day of the trial to hear a request for emergency measures by South Africa, who asked the court to order Israel to stop its military actions in Gaza and to desist from what South Africa says are genocidal acts committed against Palestinians during the war with Hamas in Gaza, in The Hague, Netherlands.

    The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has become the battleground for a dispute over Israel's military operation in Gaza, with South Africa asserting that it amounts to a state-led genocide campaign against Palestinians.

    Israel's defense centered on the argument that its actions are in self-defense and specifically targeted at combating Hamas rather than the Palestinian population. Lawyer Malcolm Shaw, representing Israel, stated unequivocally, "This is no genocide," urging the ICJ to dismiss the case on the grounds of its alleged lack of merit.

    South Africa, presenting its case on Thursday, asserted that Israel's aerial and ground offensive had caused significant destruction in Gaza, leading to the death of almost 24,000 people, according to Gaza health authorities. The South African government argued that the Israeli campaign aimed at the "destruction of the population" of Gaza.

    In response to the accusations, Israel maintained its position, emphasizing its adherence to international law and asserting its right to self-defense. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has drawn international attention, with legal battles unfolding at the ICJ.

    Former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, weighed in on the situation, expressing a strong stance against Israel's actions. Murray asserted, "My message to Benjamin Netanyahu would be that really, the game's up." He went on to argue that the case presented by the South African government had convincingly demonstrated that what is happening in Gaza amounts to genocide.

    Murray commended the South African government for presenting its case "dispassionately, logically, coherently, and in detail," emphasizing the need for the international court to intervene. He stated, "I've no doubt at all that the case of genocide is proven, that the international court needs to take provisional measures to stop the genocide." In his view, what is at stake is not just Israel but also the credibility of the international court as an institution capable of addressing such grave accusations.
