Naledi Pandor says South Africa intends to approach the International Court of Justice to have Israel declared an apartheid state. South Africa, along with other countries, last week requested the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Israel for war crimes. Not only did South Africa lay a charge against Israel for war crimes at the International Criminal Court (ICC), but it will also petition the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to declare it an apartheid state. "South Africa objected against the unilateral granting of official observer status by the chairperson of the African Union Commission on 22 July 2021. "Amnesty International concludes that the State of Israel considers and treats Palestinians as an inferior non-Jewish racial group."
