Israeli officials are bracing for an expected interim ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on South Africa’s allegation that the war in Gaza amounts to genocide against Palestinians, an emergency measure that could expose Israel to international sanctions. The ICJ ruling has started on the case.

BREAKING: ICJ ruling on Israel Genocide case: Aware of extent ofhuman tragedy

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor, on Thursday (Jan 25) about the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel is bracing for a ruling by the United Nations judges at the World Court who are set to decide whether to order Israel to suspend its military campaign in Gaza. &nbsp;

<h2>What did US and South Africa discuss?</h2>

During the call on Thursday, Blinken reaffirmed Washington’s support for “Israel’s right to ensure the terrorist attacks of October 7 can never be repeated,” said the US State Department&nbsp;in a statement.&nbsp;

Washington’s top diplomat and South Africa’s foreign minister also discussed the need to protect civilian lives in Gaza, and ensure regional peace that “advances the establishment of an independent Palestinian state,” said the State Department.&nbsp;

Blinken and Pandor also reaffirmed bilateral ties between the two countries.&nbsp;

Notably, the conversation took place as the International Court of Justice (ICJ),&nbsp;on Friday (Jan 26), delivers a landmark ruling in a case against Israel over alleged genocide in the Gaza Strip.&nbsp;

<h2>Israel braces for ICJ ruling</h2>

The UN judges will rule on South Africa’s request for emergency measures against Israel after accusing it of state-led genocide for its military operation in Gaza.&nbsp;

Israel has since rejected the accusations by&nbsp;South Africa and said it has a right to defend itself after Hamas’ October 7 attacks on Israel where around 1,200 people were killed and 240 others were taken as hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli officials.&nbsp;

Pretoria has sought an immediate halt to Israel’s military operation which has killed nearly 26,000 people in the Palestinian enclave, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.&nbsp;

South Africa has requested nine emergency measures, which act like a restraining order against Israel while the court will proceed with hearing the rest of the case, which could go on for years.&nbsp;

Therefore, the judgement on Friday will be an initial one at best and does not necessarily mean that Israel is being convicted based on the accusations of genocide. The court is also not bound to act on measures sought by South Africa and can order its own.&nbsp;

“South Africa does not need to prove that Israel is committing genocide,” Juliette McIntyre, an international law expert told AFP. She added, “They simply need to establish that there is a plausible risk of genocide occurring.”&nbsp;

According to experts, if the court decides there is a risk of genocide in Gaza, it could still have a ripple effect, particularly on the nations which support Israel politically or militarily.

<h2>Situation on the ground</h2>

As the world waits with bated breath for ICJ’s ruling, which could potentially see a halt in the months-long war, media reports citing sources have said diplomatic efforts to bring about a break in the conflict are underway.&nbsp;

A report by Reuters citing sources said US and Israeli intelligence chiefs were due to meet Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Europe this weekend, and Egypt’s intelligence chief would also participate.

Officials in Gaza, on Thursday, said Israeli strikes killed 20 Palestinians queuing for food aid in Gaza City. Additionally, strikes in central Gaza’s Al-Nusseirat refugee camp killed six and at least 50 people lost their lives in the last 24 hours in Gaza’s main southern city Khan Younis.

In a shocking turn of events, a British Airways pilot was kidnapped and brutally tortured during a stopover, forcing the carrier to call in a replacement pilot. The incident took place in South Africa’s Johannesburg, a city infamous for its&nbsp;crime record.

The man, a First Officer with the airline, was allegedly approached by a woman near a supermarket car park. The woman asked the pilot to help her carry the shopping bags. But as the pilot stepped near her car, a group of men dragged the pilot inside and drove him to a remote location.&nbsp;

The pilot was then subjected to torture for several hours until he gave them access to all of his money. The incident took place in&nbsp;the Melrose Arch complex,&nbsp;an area just north of BA's secure compound in the crime hotspot city.

The Sun reported that the pilot was forced to cough up “thousands and thousands of pounds.” However, the pilot was said to be happy to have escaped the captivity and not lose his life.

But his colleagues at British Airways were left stunned and shaken after the incident. “It’s staggering what happened to the pilot. It was like something out of the movies. He fell for the scam of agreeing to help a woman in need, and before he knew it was bundled in a vehicle and driven away," a source was quoted as saying by the Mirror.

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur was injured on Saturday, December 30 while batting during a net session. Thakur was hit on shoulder when he was taking throwdowns and the extent of seriousness of the injury is yet to be determined. The all-rounder will undergo scans if required. The developments were first reported by the news agency PTI.

The injury also puts doubts on his involvement in the SA20 scheduled to begin on January 10. He was recently bought by Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League auctions for $600, 000.

Cricket South Africa on the flip side have opted not to name a replacement with Lungi Ngidi and Wiaan Mulder as fast-bowling options already present in the squad. Keshav Maharaj is another player who can replace the speedster if the Proteas decide to go with a spin option.
