Germany invokes the Holocaust in defence of Israel
Cape Town | South Africa’s case at the United Nations’ top court accusing Israel of genocide against Palestinians in the war in Gaza has prompted an emphatic defence from Germany which stood out among the predictable responses from Israel’s foes and supporters.
South Africa says more than 50 countries have expressed support for its case. Others, including the United States, have strongly rejected South Africa’s allegation that Israel is violating the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
