Israel faces 'genocide' charge at UN top court

Israel will on Friday hit back at what it describes as "atrocious" allegations it is committing "genocide" in Gaza, in a closely watched landmark case before the U.N.'s top court.

South Africa has launched an emergency case at the International Court of Justice arguing that Israel stands in breach of the U.N. Genocide Convention, signed in 1948 in the wake of the Holocaust.
