[Headline] What were Israel’s main defence arguments?
Step Vaessen / Reporting from The Hague

Israel’s main defence was that its actions were self-defence against Hamas’s attack on October 7.

Unsurprisingly, we heard a very long argument about how atrocious these attacks were, they showed pictures of the hostages and they also mentioned that South Africa didn’t mention anything about this on the first day of the hearing on Thursday and that was misleading, a word that was mentioned many times.

In terms of the intent, which is a very important issue to prove that Israel indeed has the intent to commit genocide against the people of Gaza, the argument by Israel was that it was clearly not government policy, according to them, although South Africa mentioned a number of statements [by Israeli officials].

Israel also pointed out that it is a rules-based country with a legal system, so everything that goes wrong in Gaza, if crimes are committed, those will be dealt with in the national courts.

And finally the issue of jurisdiction; for a dispute to be here at the ICJ, one of the requirements is that the state that takes a case to this court should try to sort out this problem first; according to Israel, they didn’t manage to talk to South Africa before they brought this case to the court although they tried.

*Analysis

[Headline] Israel’s legal defence off to weak start: Analyst

Al Jazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bishara says Israel’s legal team has made a weak start in its case but made a few strong points near the end.

Bishara said the lawyers’ efforts to deflect blame for Israel’s attacks and ignore the context of Israel’s 75-year occupation of Palestine came across as “illogical”.

Their claims that Israel’s forces are trying to protect, rather than harm, civilians were also unconvincing, he said, given the death toll of the war: 23,708 Palestinians, including 9,600 children, since October 7.

However, Bishara said Israel’s lawyers did well to zero in on the jurisdiction of the ICJ – pointing out that the court must specifically prove Israel is guilty of genocidal intent, not any other violations.

“You can claim Israel has committed heinous crimes, but if they do not fall under the framework of genocide, the court has no jurisdiction,” Bishara said.

* Analysis

[Headline] Israel’s arguments may not hold up at the merits stage: University lecturer

Thomas MacManus, a senior lecturer in state crime at Queen Mary University of London, has spoken to Al Jazeera about Israel’s arguments and compared them to South Africa’s case on Thursday. Here are his main points:

*The statements outlined in the intent section of South Africa’s case clearly showed talks and rhetoric from government officials about “human animals” and about destroying Gaza. They were giving concrete examples of intent.

*Israel’s argument is that they are statements of anguish and maybe they don’t have any control over the military or are not part of the war cabinet.

*That’s not what we’re going to look for when we get to the merits stage of intent. We are going to look for the overall picture. Is the government creating an atmosphere where everyone understands that it’s government policy to destroy the Palestinians?

* Analysis

[Headline] Israel lost ‘moral’ case, but made strong ‘procedural’ points

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara says that throughout the hearing, Israel lost the moral, factual, historical and humanitarian argument because of the way the situation has unravelled in Gaza – with the sheer death and industrial killing there”.

He said the Israeli legal teams’ continuous efforts to blame Hamas for the suffering in Gaza – where at least 23,700 people have been killed – and to convince the court that Israel is trying to ameliorate the humanitarian situation there were unconvincing.

However, he said the Israeli team did make strong “jurisdictional and procedural arguments”.

They relate to whether South Africa has a legitimate “dispute” with Israel that warrants it taking Israel to the ICJ in the first place, the court’s limited jurisdiction, and the grounds for each of the “provisional measures” sought by South Africa to protect Palestinians from harm.

While Israel lost the “moral argument”, its team may have “made a dent” in South Africa’s case with its jurisdictional points, said Bishara.

[Headline] ‘Self-defence is no answer to genocide’, says South Africa’s justice minister

South Africa’s Minister of Justice Ronald Lamola just spoke to members of press outside the ICJ.

Here are the main points from his interaction:

* Israel failed to disprove South Africa’s compelling case that was presented yesterday.

*Israel tells the court that these statements read out by senior Israeli political, military and civilian society leaders are simply rhetorical, and we shall not ascribe them any importance.

*There is no debate about what Prime Minister Netanyahu’s term “Amalek” means and how it is understood by soldiers fighting on the ground and by the Israelis.

* How can you ignore Netanyahu’s statement, the statement of the defence minister and the ground forces? That is a clear implementation of policy.

*Israel chose today to focus extensively on the events of October 7. South Africa has not ignored this event as Israel alleged because it has unequivocally condemned and continues to condemn October 7.

*Self-defence is no answer to genocide. Nothing can ever justify genocide

* Analysis

[Headline] ‘Massive disconnect’ between Israel’s claims and reality

The ICJ is likely to see a “massive disconnect” between the picture Israel painted today of its humanitarian concern for Gaza and “the reality on the ground where UN agencies say people are starving, lacking water, and seeing attacks on hospitals, schools, and universities”, says Thomas MacManus, a senior lecturer in state crime at Queen Mary University of London.

“I think the court will find it very difficult to add these two things,” MacManus told Al Jazeera.

Countering the Israeli team’s case that Israeli decision-makers have not shown “genocidal intent” towards Palestinians, MacManus pointed to numerous statements by Israeli leaders, documented in South Africa’s submission to the court, that suggest otherwise.

“The court only needs to look at the statements in South Africa’s submission – with the ranking and authority of those making them – and ask whether they plausibly reach the level of intent required for genocide. I think the court will have to do that,” he said.

A small but very interesting observation. Rei's character trait, which makes him please people, is partly a consequence of his upbringing in his family. Judging by the words of Rei himself, the Sakuma clan was oppressed and persecuted in the distant past (probably during the witch hunt) because of its vampire characteristics of the body. And the condition by which the Sakuma could live among people was "to be harmless and useful". So this model of upbringing, which arose from the desire of the Sakuma family to survive, has become just a tradition and a feature of the character of all representatives of this family. Therefore, both Rei, and partly Ritsu, and most likely everyone else from the Sakuma clan have a tendency to want to be useful to others. That's such an interesting thing.

"Because we are harmless and useful, my family was allowed to exist in this world."

"Even in our modern era, when strange things have disappeared, it is difficult to change the way of life that was imprinted in my soul and genes and was fixed thanks to my education."

So these problems of Rei are not only related to his angelic personality (although that too).
