The Biden administration on Wednesday tore into South Africa for filing an application at the International Court of Justice to begin proceedings to declare that Jerusalem was violating its obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention in its war against Hamas following the Gaza-ruling terrorist group’s murderous October 7 onslaught.

US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called South Africa’s submission meritless, counterproductive and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”

An Israeli diplomatic official described most of the allegations in the South African filing as “ridiculous,” but noted that there was also a section relating to comments made by senior Israeli politicians that indicated a deviation from acceptable practices in wartime and noted that the filing used those comments to show that Israeli policy violates the 1948 Genocide Convention.
