Those interested in the case today m.youtube.com/watch?v=vwGt98yVQw0 Lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi’smain point: Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich opened said aim of the Rafah invasion was “total annihilation.” The reason why this supports the already strong claim of genocide is that the Palestinians need a place to rebuild and as the Israeli government is so hell bent on destroying all Palestinian land (not the ones they have stolen and settled on of course!) a future and a people is looking less and less likely.
Lawyer Blinne Ni Ghralaigh main point:infrastructure is destroyed and there are mass graves, carry on with Rafah plans and the same actions will be repeated.
She said that the IDF deems evacuated areas as “extermination zones,” where soldiers are ordered to kill any remaining people.
Israel will present its side tomorrow.
Regardless of the judgement Israel will carry on with its actions. So not sure why they are even there to present an argument. Even if the court says this is a genocide Israel will carry on. The USA and the UK will say something along the lines of “yeah but …..no but…..” and enable Israel’s actions.
