South Africa has confirmed it is not seeking a delay in its genocide case against the Israeli entity at The Hague.

The Department of International Relations and Cooperation said that the government will submit its evidence by October.

DIRCO spokesperson Chrispin Phiri emphasized that South Africa aims to prove that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine.

The Israeli regime has until July 2025 to respond.

Israeli media earlier reported, citing no evidence, that South Africa wanted to delay its submission due to insufficient evidence.

Meanwhile, the Israeli regime is reportedly lobbying US legislators to pressure South Africa to drop the case.
