Iran Press/ Europe: Spain will join South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, citing the continuation of the military operation in Gaza and the regional extension of the conflict.
Spain's decision is based on its commitment to international law and its goal of ending the war and advancing the two-state solution.
Spain is the second European nation to join the case, following Ireland, and has also been joined by countries including Chile and Mexico.
The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians and do more to help civilians but stopped short of ordering a ceasefire.
The court also ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the Rafah governorate, which could lead to the physical destruction of the Palestinian group in Gaza.
Spain's decision to join South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice is a significant development in the ongoing conflict. The move highlights Spain's commitment to international law and its concern for the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The case against Israel is based on the country's alleged breaches of the Genocide Convention, which prohibits the destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. The International Court of Justice has already ordered Israel to take steps to prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians and to do more to help civilians.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in significant humanitarian suffering, with thousands of Palestinians displaced and many more injured or killed. The international community has been increasingly critical of Israel's actions, and Spain's decision to join the case is likely to add pressure on the country to end its military operation and find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
The two-state solution, which Spain has committed to advancing, is a key part of the international community's efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The solution would involve the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside the state of Israel and would require significant concessions from both sides.
Overall, Spain's decision to join South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice is a significant step towards holding Israelthe of accountable for its actions in Gaza and promoting a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
