Lawyer Adila Hassim addressed the court, emphasising that South Africa had been compelled to return to the court due to Israel's defiance of earlier provisional measures.
She noted that since Israel initiated its incursion of Rafah, 600,000 Palestinians had been forced to flee, without any safe havens.
Palestinians in Gaza, she stated, were still being subjected to an ongoing and intensifying genocide, with their future hanging in the balance.
Since South Africa first appeared before the ICJ in January, she highlighted that at least 11,500 Palestinians had been directly killed by Israel, with the majority being women and children.
On average, she mentioned, two mothers and four children were killed every hour.
She emphasized that this onslaught had occurred despite the binding orders of the court..
In a surprising and highly unusual moment, freed Israeli hostage Omer Shem Tov was seen kissing the foreheads of Hamas fighters before his release in Gaza. The shocking video shows him smiling, laughing, and giving a thumbs-up to the cheering crowd as Al-Qassam Brigades and other Palestinian factions handed over three Israeli hostages in a public ceremony.

Tensions escalate in the occupied West Bank as illegal Israeli settlers burn down a mosque northwest of Jericho. This act of violence comes amid a surge in attacks on Palestinians and their property in 2024. Settlers also attempted to set fire to a tractor in the Mleihat Bedouin community. The ongoing violence highlights the dangerous situation for Palestinians living in the region.

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability.
