    South Africa has filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice alleging that Israel's military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide. The case will center around the 1948 Genocide Convention and whether Israel's actions were committed with the intent to destroy Palestinians, in whole or in part, as a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. Both sides filing briefs and presenting arguments in the case sets up a high-stakes legal battle that will likely drag on for years at the UN's top court.

    THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — South Africa has launched a case at the United Nations’ top court
    alleging that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide.

    The filing and Israel’s decision to defend itself at the International Court of Justice set up a high-stakes
    showdown before a panel of judges in the Great Hall of Justice.

    The case will likely drag on for years. At its heart is the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and
    Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, drawn up in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust.

    The convention defines genocide as acts such as killings “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in
    part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”
