Israel is actively lobbying members of the US Congress to pressure South Africa to drop its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. According to Axios, Israel has warned that continuing the case could have serious consequences for relations between the countries.

The move is part of a broader Israeli effort to prevent cases involving its actions in the occupied territories from being heard in international legal institutions. The situation around the case is increasing diplomatic tensions and raising questions about pressure on sovereign states to change their legal positions on the international stage.
