Israel has said that South Africa has distorted the truth in its case to the International Court of Justice, where it is accusing Israel of genocide.
Israeli lawyer Tal Becker told the ICJ that South Africa had presented a sweeping counter-factual description of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Israel is giving its defence to the court a day after South Africa presented its case.
Earlier, South Africa said, Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in its war in Gaza. It has asked the court to order Israel to halt its military activity.
Meanwhile, outside the legal battleground of the ICJ in Hague, police have created cordons to ensure rival groups are kept far apart.
