Israel’s response was published on the day that the U.N. food agency said that “famine is imminent” in northern Gaza, where 70% of the remaining population is experiencing catastrophic hunger, and that a further escalation of the war could push around half of Gaza’s total population to the brink of starvation.
The food agency’s statement came less than two weeks after South Africa urged the world court “to do what is within its power to save Palestinians in Gaza from genocidal starvation.”
Israel also said in its response that it is “doing a great deal to alleviate such suffering in these very challenging circumstances.”
No date has been set for judges to rule on the South African request.
The savagery and deceit coming from Israel is just mind blowing. “We don’t want any official rulings taken to keep people from starving, which by the way isn’t our fault”? Hey Israel, no one is buying your lies - either (most) folks oppose your blockades or they support it because of bloodlust but either way everyone knows.
