Iran Press/Asia: In a statement posted on X, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Türkiye submitted its declaration to the World Court.
A legal delegation submitted on Wednesday Türkiye’s declaration of intervention in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.
The 43-page declaration was delivered by a group headed by Cüneyt Yüksel, a lawmaker of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and head of the Turkish Parliament’s legal committee.
“Türkiye will always defend the rights of Palestinians,” Yüksel told reporters outside the court.
“Israel has so far gotten away with its actions (in Gaza) but Türkiye will ensure this case proceeds in the best way possible by standing with the righteous and the wronged."
In December 2023, South Africa opened a case in the Hague against the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza. Since October 2023, Israel has killed about 40,000 civilians, mostly women and children, in its attacks and displaced about two million Palestinians without food, shelter and other necessities.
