Gantz: Accusing Israel of genocide is a dangerous act.
On Wednesday, a member of the Zionist regime’s war cabinet said that accusing Israel of genocide is a dangerous act and is a red line.
Benny Gantz, a member of the Zionist regime’s war cabinet, denied any resignation from the cabinet and said that he would remain in the cabinet as long as needed.
He continued by saying: “All of us will do whatever it takes to return the abductees in Gaza, and now the urgent task is to return the abductees before any military action.”
He also mentioned that the issue of crimes committed by the Zionist regime was brought up in the “International Court of Justice” and said: “Accusing Israel of mass murder is a dangerous act and a red line.”
The International Court of Justice is scheduled to hold the first hearing on South Africa’s complaint against Israel for the genocide in Gaza on Thursday.
A few weeks ago, South Africa filed a petition with this court based in The Hague, demanding to investigate Israel’s accusation of committing genocide in the Gaza war.
In this 84-page complaint, South Africa states that Israel has violated the provisions of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Both Israel and South Africa are signatories to the convention, which authorizes the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice as the UN’s highest legal authority to handle disputes.
All parties who have signed this treaty have pledged not to commit genocide and to prevent and punish it by other parties. Genocide is defined in this treaty as “committing acts to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group”.
South Africa supported this complaint to all countries that are critical of Israel’s operation in Gaza and to hold this regime accountable for the killing of Palestinians.
