The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague has refused South Africa's request to postpone the deadline for submitting evidence in its case alleging genocide. South Africa's request for an extension was aimed at providing more time to gather evidence, particularly on the issue of special intent. The ICJ's decision has sparked controversy, with some accusing South Africa of lacking sufficient evidence to support its claims. Israeli media initially reported the extension request, which was later disputed by anti-Israel activists.
