Egypt says it will join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at ICJ

Al Jazeera  

Cairo says the move is due to Israel’s worsening attacks against civilians in Gaza. Egypt says it will formally join the case filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice, which accuses Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention in its war on the Gaza Strip. Egypt said it is calling on Israel “to comply with its obligations as the occupying power and to implement the provisional measures issued by the ICJ, which require ensuring access to humanitarian and relief aid in a manner that meets the needs of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip”. ‘Diplomatic blow’ Alon Liel, former director of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Al Jazeera that Egypt’s move was an “unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel”. “We have to look overall in the wider picture, in the long-term security of Israel, not only in the next few weeks in Gaza.” The latest legal development comes as Israel engaged in new battles with Hamas in northern Gaza and ordered tens of thousands more people to evacuate from the southern city of Rafah, which lies close to Gaza’s border with Egypt.
