ICJ ruling on Israel once again highlights ANC’ double standards
26 January 2024
Today's ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on South Africa's application that Israel immediately cease its military action in Gaza once again highlights the ANC government's double standards.
It inevitably also raises the question of why government spent so much money on this case while 76 people are murdered in South Africa every day.
South Africa has the greatest income inequality in the world and a third of its population is unemployed. This causes serious suffering for millions of people in the country.
The ICJ's ruling has made it clear that Israel is not committing Palestinian genocide in Gaza.
