Several Israeli officials have spoken out against South Africa's case today at the International Court of Justice.
"If a country that protects itself from a brutal, murderous terrorist attack can find itself in court for genocide, then the genocide convention has become a reward for terrorism and antisemitism," opposition leader Yair Lapid said in a video posted on X.
After meeting with German Vice Chancellor Robert Habak in Jerusalem, Israel's Economy Minister Nir Barkat slammed what he called "antisemitic blood libel plots" and claimed that “anti-Israelism is the new antisemitism".
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett even called the South African lawsuit "the Dreyfus affair of the 21st century", while National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that "never before have so many miscreants taken part in such vile lies".
