Government expects the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to hand down judgment on provisional measures sought in South Africa's genocide case against Israel on Friday.
News24 understands that a government delegation has touched down in The Hague in anticipation of the judgment.
Two well-placed sources close to the matter said they were expecting the 17-member Bench to deliver its ruling on provisional measures that include ordering Israel to stop military actions in Gaza while the case is being determined.
However, the ICJ registrar has yet to issue formal communication on the matter.
In its application, South Africa accused Israel of violating the Genocide Convention.
Israel has vehemently opposed the case.
After the oral submission, ICJ Judge President Joan Donoghue said the court would decide on the matter as soon as possible.
