The following statement was posted on the?
South Africa¡¯s baseless ¡°genocide¡± case at the ICJ is collapsing.
South Africa has requested an extraordinary 18-month (!) extension to submit its arguments.
The written submissions will not end before 2029.
All the claims of ¡°urgency¡± have now turned into South Africa¡¯s quiet requests to buy more time.
This case was never about the facts.
It has always been a propaganda campaign by South Africa in the service of Hamas, masquerading as a legal process.
