Israel is “a long-standing signatory to the Genocide Convention”, Hanegbi told Ynet. “We will participate and refute the absurd accusation that amounts to blood libel,” he added. “The Jewish people have experienced genocide more profoundly than any other nation,” Hanegbi told Ynet, “with six million of our people brutally slaughtered”. Hanegbi described the events of October 7 as a “similar cruelty”, adding that “this time we have the capability to defend ourselves against those seeking our destruction,” Ynet reported. On Friday, South Africa filed a case at the ICJ accusing Israel of crimes of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
