'Liars': Israeli lawyer heckled at ICJ hearing
Watch the moment an observer at the International Court of Justice called Israeli lawyers 'liars!', as they submitted 'counter-evidence' against South Africa's petition to impose provisional measures on Israel under the Genocide Convention. The Israeli lawyer looked up at the public gallery in shock before the official ICJ live stream was stopped and the woman who heckled was escorted out by security.

Dozens of jurists, lawyers, judges, historians and philosophers are taking part. MEMO has been following this event closely since its inception.
