South African Foreign Ministry:
“Today marks a decisive victory for the international rule of law and a significant milestone in the search for justice for the Palestinian people.
“There is no credible basis for Israel to continue to claim that its military actions are in full compliance with international law, including the Genocide Convention, having regard to the Court’s ruling.
“South Africa sincerely hopes that Israel will not act to frustrate the application of this order, as it has publicly threatened to do, but that it will, instead, act to comply with it fully, as it is bound to do.”
