Iran Press/ Europe: It is expected that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to rule this Friday on whether it will grant emergency measures to stop the Israeli genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip, a report says.
South Africa filed the lawsuit against Israel at the end of December, after nearly three months of Israeli aggression against Palestinians in Gaza.
The lawsuit said Israel’s actions are “genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group.”
The application also said Israeli attacks breach the UN’s Genocide Convention, and urged the court to “order Israel to cease killing and causing serious mental and bodily harm to Palestinian people in Gaza.”
South Africa has been one of the outspoken critics of Israel’s ongoing onslaught against Palestinians and has led some initiatives to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza.
More countries have joined South Africa in a case filed against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the regime’s genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
One hundred and ten days into the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, today Israel government spokesperson rejected media reports about possible ceasefire and said that there will be no ceasefire.
At least 25,700 people have been killed and 63,740 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
UN chief Antonio Guterres says risks of a regional war are “now a reality”, urging all sides “to step back from the brink and consider the horrendous costs”.
The World Health Organization’s regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, Ahmed al-Mandhari, in a news conference on Wednesday saying that 660 attacks on health institutions have been recorded emphasized that "Attacks on health institutions are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law."
Also reports indicates that the risk of death from starvation threatens about half a million people in Gaza City and elsewhere in the north who refused to leave their homes despite the destruction caused by Israeli bombing.
