Israel has presented its defense before the International Court of Justice in response to the genocide case brought by South Africa.
A two-day public hearing on South Africa's genocide case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has concluded.
South Africa presented a list of genocidal acts committed by Israel on the first day of hearing on Thursday, while Israel defended itself on Friday.
Now, the court has begun deliberations.
It will decide whether South Africa's case is strong enough to issue an interim measure to stop the Israeli army's attacks on Gaza.
So what is the likely outcome of this case?
