South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor speaks to the media following a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on a request from South Africa for emergency measures for Gaza, in The Hague on January 26, 2024. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said Israel must do all it can to prevent genocide in its war with Hamas and allow aid into Gaza, as alarm has grown over Palestinians trapped by the conflict. South Africa had brought the case against Israel, accusing it of breaching the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, set up in the ashes of World War II and the Holocaust.
