As we heard the arguments made by Israel that there is no genocide taking place in Gaza, the crowd outside was chanting: “We charge you with genocide,” Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid reports from The Hague.

Palestinian activists have been running live commentary on what you’ve been hearing from the Israeli side. The accounts Israel has been presenting for this court have been debunked by activists who gathered here from many parts of the world.

They were saying when Israel was showing pictures of incubators, it was after Al-Shifa Hospital was besieged.

On the question of aid boxes, activists are telling us those were boxes for photo ops and were empty. That has also been documented by doctors on the ground.

People who are here believe South Africans are on the right side of history and everyone standing with Israel is complicit.
