One of the leaders of Ireland’s coalition Government has said there are “irrefutable” points in South Africa’s case against Israel for genocide in the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

South Africa says the scale of the deaths and crisis from the Israeli military campaign against Hamas in Gaza meets the threshold of genocide under international law.
