Israel is currently in a state of panic after South Africa’s genocide trial against Israel began at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which should not be confused with the International Criminal Court (ICC), a Turkish academic was quoted as saying by TRT World.

Ariturk said such a case against Tel Aviv was previously initiated after Israel launched an attack on Gaza on Dec 27, 2008, under the name “Operation Cast Lead,” and evidence of the crimes committed was presented until Oct. 7, 2022, but no progress was made.
