South Africa's Finance Minister, Enoch Godongwana, asserts "global support" for the country's legal case accusing Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Recent hearings at the International Court of Justice saw South African lawyers argue that Israel's actions amounted to genocide. Godongwana, speaking at the World Economic Forum, emphasized adherence to UN-established dispute settlement principles. Turkey, Jordan, Brazil, and others support South Africa's application, while Israel and its allies reject the claims. The case, set to span years, currently seeks provisional measures, including a halt to Israeli military operations in Gaza.
