Netanyahu: Israel Accused of Genocide while Fighting Genocide
(Prime Minister's Office) Responding to the hearing at the International Court of Justice in The Hague on Thursday after South Africa accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "We are fighting terrorists, and we are fighting lies." "Today, again, we saw an upside down world, in which the State of Israel is accused of genocide at a time when it is fighting genocide. Israel is fighting against murderous terrorists who committed horrific crimes against humanity....And the IDF, the most moral army in the world, which does everything to avoid harming non-combatants, stands accused...of genocide." "Where was South Africa when millions of people were being murdered and uprooted from their homes in Syria and Yemen? By whom? By Hamas' partners....We will continue to uphold our just right to defend ourselves and to ensure our future - until total victory."
