World Court recognises right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide
The United Nations' top court said on Friday that at least some rights sought by South Africa in its genocide case against Israel's war in Gaza are plausible.
With the reading still ongoing, the court said it recognises the right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide.
Palestinians appear to be a protected group under the genocide convention, the court said.
