US: ‘MERITLESS’ ALLEGATIONS U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on a visit to Israel a day before the court proceedings began that South Africa's allegations are “meritless" and that the case “distracts the world” from efforts to find a lasting solution to the conflict. Malaysia's Foreign Ministry demanded “legal accountability for Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.” CHINA AND RUSSIA: SILENCE China,Russia — which is also facing allegations of genocide in the world court — and the emerging power of India have largely remained silent, seemingly aware that taking a stand in such an inflammatory case has little upside and could irreversibly upset their relationships in the region. SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE A handful of South American countries have spoken up, including the continent's biggest economy, Brazil, whose Foreign Ministry said President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva backed South Africa's case. South Africa's case against Israel is two-fold: It wants the court to say Israel is committing genocide and to issue an interim ruling ordering an end to its military campaign in Gaza.
