Ireland to intervene in South Africa genocide case against Israel at ICJ

Al Jazeera  

Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin says events in Gaza represent the ‘blatant violation of international humanitarian law on a mass scale’. Ireland has said it will intervene in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, in the strongest signal yet of Dublin’s concern about the war in Gaza. Announcing the move, Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said on Wednesday that while it was for the International Court of Justice to decide whether genocide was being committed, he wanted to be clear that Hamas’s October 7 attack and current events in Gaza represent the “blatant violation of international humanitarian law on a mass scale”. Rejecting South Africa’s genocide charge in January, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country had displayed unparalleled “morality” in the Gaza war.
