Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he said today that hypocrisy and lies are on display before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, adding that South Africa’s accusations against Israel of genocide in Gaza could only happen in a world turned upside down.

“We fight terrorists, we fight liesNetanyahu said. “Today we saw a world turned upside down. Israel is accused of genocide, while fighting against genocide.”

“Israel is fighting murderous terrorists, who committed crimes against humanity: They slaughtered, raped, burned, dismembered, beheaded, children, women, elderly, young men and women,” he added.

“The hypocrisy of South Africans reaches to the sky,” Netanyahu said. “Where was South Africa when millions of people were killed or driven from their homes in Syria and Yemen, by whom? From allies of Hamas.”

The head of the Israeli government pointed out that Israel will maintain the right of self-defense until it achieves a “total victory.”
