The International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court, holds two days of hearings over extra emergency measures against Israel sought by South Africa over Israel’s attacks on Rafah during the war in Gaza.

The court said in a statement that the South African delegation will be heard on Thursday, and the Israeli side on Friday.

Two hours have been set aside each day.

South Africa on May 10th filed an “urgent request” with the ICJ for additional measures amid Israel’s attacks on Gaza, particularly in the city of Rafah.

Egypt announced on Sunday its intervention to support South Africa’s case before the ICJ, which accuses Israel of committing acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
