UN court hears South Africa case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza | BBC News
The UN’s International Court of Justice is hearing a case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The submission also calls on the court to order Israel to stop military operations there.
The ICJ will deliver only an opinion on the genocide allegation as the case is not a criminal trial, although it is being closely watched.
Israel has vehemently rejected the accusation as “baseless”.

Also in the programme, presenter Christian Fraser is joined by leading AI thinker Gary Marcus and Oxford University robotics expert Professor Sara Bernardini to explore what a future shaped by autonomous machines could mean for work, safety and society.
Plus, tech reporter Lara Lewington meets 19‑year‑old student Maeve O’Neil, whose smart ring detected a life‑threatening health issue before it was too late.

There is continuing criticism from Catholics around the world, as US President Donald Trump’s feud with Pope Leo escalates. Trump said Pope Leo XIV was “weak”, and posted an AI-generated image of himself on Truth Social, which many people believe depicted him as Jesus.
The image, which has now been deleted, showed Trump appearing to heal a sick man in a hospital bed. He said it showed him as a doctor. The image post came hours after the president posted a lengthy message criticising the pontiff, who is a vocal critic of the US and Israeli military operation in Iran.
Italy’s prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, has said Donald Trump’s remarks are ”unacceptable”. Meloni, who is Catholic and heads a right-wing coalition government, is a close ally of Trump.
Pope Leo said that he has “no fear” of the Trump administration. There are more than 70 million Catholics in the US – many of whom are swing voters. We ask the BBC’s religion editor, Aleem Maqbool, if Donald Trump’s row with the pope has dealt lasting damage to his Catholic support.

A shadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UK, the BBC has found.
In the first part of a major undercover investigation, we reveal how migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence, including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports.
They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh.
In response to our findings, the Home Office said: “Anyone found trying to exploit the system will face the full force of the law, including removal from the UK.”

US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad alongside President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and special adviser Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for peace talks with Iran.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who has recently emerged as a prominent government figure, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in the middle of the night ahead of the talks.
Both the sides were greeted by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Pakistan’s military chief Asim Munir. The country is a key mediator between the two warring nations, and played a part in securing a fragile two-week ceasefire.

The Artemis II crew have completed their 10-day mission around the Moon and are preparing to splash down on Earth.
They are expected to arrive off the coast of San Diego at 20:07 eastern US time on Friday 10 April (01:07 BST on Saturday).
The splashdown sequence takes roughly 42 minutes to complete and is considered the most dangerous part of the Artemis II mission, with the Orion capsule enduring temperatures of nearly 2,760C.

South Africa Genocide – 486 260 South Africans were murdered between 1994 and 2017.
Fifty-eight people died in South Africa today. And yesterday. And tomorrow, 58 more will die. I am not talking about Covid-19 (Coronavirus) deaths. I am referring to the number of murdered people.
With about 2500 deaths so far, world stock exchange prices have declined remarkably – described by some as the worst since the 2008 financial crisis, with some investors fearing an imminent worldwide recession.
Why, despite not one case of Covid-19 in South African at the time of writing, is everyone in the country on high alert while many South Africans and the government remain unconcerned about the scourge of murder that far, far outweighs the Covid-19 threat?
BusinessTech reported that the UN Office on Drugs and Crime’s July 2019 report said more than 486 260 South Africans were murdered between 1994 and 2017.

Nyetanyahu was indicted, like Trump , and supported his IMEC stated at UN vowing it's success depended on destruction of Hamas around sept. 25th, and provoked Palestine with new expansion plans with Hamas attack plans in hand. That's all you need to put Nyetanyahu and Trump in jail for good. For the good and peace of the planet.

Did UN condemn the Arab countries that are cleansing Christians? Did UN condemn the Muslim plastilin who are cleansing Christians from Judea and Samaria? You can check statistics that in the Middle East, the only safe place for Christians is in Israel.

According to the BBC: Traders in Gaza are buying food supplies for 10 shekels and then selling them for 200 hundred or 250 hundred shekels. A sack of flour from a supply warehouse costs 60 shekels and is then sold for 300 hundred shekels , which is 5 times more!Is this the way they behave towards one another.

Israel says it only wants to destroy Hamas, but from their words, it seems like anyone is Hamas. Including terminally ill people in hospitals, newborn babies, and now their fellow signatory and global peer, South Africa. What a way to think, while having access to billions in military equipment.

Go and do your research BBC! South Africa is in a reverse apartheid state, there is noooooo democracy. The South African government are terrorists, go and have a look what they have done in the past and are still doing it.
