“By an Order dated 14 April 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has extended the time-limit for the filing of the Counter-Memorial of Israel to 12 January 2026 in the case.”
This is based on a statement from the ICJ last week, which announced an extension for Israel to submit its defense in a genocide case before The Hague.
Speaking on VOC’s PM Drive show, attorney Yousha Tayob said that Israel responded to South Africa’s memorial submitted to the ICJ as a formality while continuing killing without impunity.
“Israel breached the ceasefire agreement, and they’ve continued with their mass bombing. From a legal point of view, the extension is an unfair call because there’s already a finding of plausible genocide,” explained Tayob.
