Israel presented its response to SA's genocide case against it at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday.

SA accused Israel on Thursday of carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

A team of prominent lawyers, aided by Irish and British counterparts, were in the Netherlands to make the case to the ICJ bench of 15 judges.
