Turkey on Wednesday joined South Africa’s genocide case against the Zionist entity at the International Court of Justice.
A Turkish parliamentary delegation accompanied by the Turkish ambassador to the Netherlands filed a “declaration of intervention” at the ICJ’s headquarters in The Hague, according to state television TRT which covered it live.
Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Oncu Keceli said in a post on X that the “case brought before the ICJ is extremely important to guarantee that the crimes committed by Israel do not remain unpunished.”
South Africa’s December 2023 case alleges that Zionist’s Gaza offensive, breached the 1948 UN Genocide Convention. The case has since been joined by Colombia, Libya, Spain and Mexico.
