Reuters: Brazil joins South Africa’s case against Israel.
Brazil will file a request to join South Africa’s genocide case against the Israeli regime’s crimes in Gaza at the International Court of Justice, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.
According to Reuters, South Africa filed a case in 2023 asking the International Court of Justice to declare that the Zionist occupiers have violated their obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention. Other countries, such as Chile, Egypt, Cuba, Spain, Turkey, Ireland, Colombia, and others, had previously asked the Hague-based court to join the case.
South Africa’s legal team submitted a nearly 5,000-page case to the UN’s top court, the latest step in the case the country has filed accusing the Israeli regime of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
According to a statement issued by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the document, which the International Court of Justice will not make public until the next stage of the proceedings, presents the “main case” that Israel has “specific intent and purpose to commit genocide.”
