South Africa is reportedly struggling to find the needed evidence to demonstrate Israel's complicity in "genocide" in Gaza, according to the Jerusalem Post.

South Africa, which accused Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice in the Hague months ago, was supposed to present all its evidence of Israel's "genocide" in Gaza by October 28, but now they are requesting a delay, suggesting they are struggling to procure such evidence.

Meanwhile, Israel is reportedly working to get South Africa to drop its case in the International Court of Justice in the Hague, where Israel stands accused of "genocide" against the Palestinians as a part of the war in Gaza, according to a report in Axios.

Per the report, Israel is pinning its hopes on two things: pressure from the US Congress and South Africa's new coalition government taking a different approach to the conflict.

Regarding the former, Israel aims to have Congressmembers make it clear to South Africa that continuing the current course of suing Israel in the Hague would have clear consequences for the country.

In terms of the latter, Israel hopes that now that the ruling coalition government, which includes seven different parties rather than the previously dominant ANC ruling alone, will have a different view of the conflict or at least be open to compromise on the matter.
