Israel has said South Africa has distorted the truth in its case to the International Court of Justice, where it is accusing Israel of genocide.
South Africa had presented "a sweeping counter-factual description" of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Israeli lawyer Tal Becker told the ICJ.
South Africa says Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in its war in Gaza.
It is also asking the court to order Israel to halt its military activity.
The ICJ is the United Nations’ highest court. Its rulings are theoretically legally binding on parties to the ICJ – which include Israel and South Africa – but are not enforceable.
Israel is giving its defence to the court a day after South Africa presented its case yesterday.
