The Department of International Relations (DIRCO) says Minister Naledi Pandor is ready to represent South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, the Netherlands.
The ICJ has announced that it will deliver judgment in the case between South Africa and Israel on Friday.
South Africa which has accused Israel of violating the Genocide Convention has requested the court for provisional measures against Israel.
It wants them to include ensuring that civilians have adequate food, water and medical supplies and for Israel to refrain from any action that could worsen the situation.
The Department’s Head of Diplomacy, Clayson Monyela says, “South Africa is requesting that the ICJ grant interim injunctions, including that Israel immediately cease its military operations in Gaza, take reasonable measures to prevent the genocide of Palestinians, ensure that the displaced return to their homes and have access to humanitarian assistance, including adequate food, water, fuel, medical and hygiene supplies, shelter and clothing.”
