BRAZIL TO JOIN SOUTH AFRICA’S INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE ‘GENOCIDE’ CASE AGAINST ISRAEL

‎Brazil has said that it will move to intervene in a case before the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging that Israel is committing
genocide in Gaza, as non-Western countries step up calls for greater
pressure.
‎
‎The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday that it was in
the final stages of submitting a formal intervention to the ICJ regarding the
case, originally brought by South Africa.
‎
‎
‎It added that, the international community cannot remain inactive in the
face of ongoing atrocities, noting that, it believes there is no longer room for
moral ambiguity or political omission.
‎
‎Brazil’s planned intervention in the case, comes as Israeli abuses in Gaza,
including harsh restrictions on aid that have brought the Gaza Strip to the
brink of mass famine, are under growing scrutiny.
‎
‎Meanwhile, Several other countries, including Spain, Turkiye, and the
Republic of Ireland, have also asked to intervene in the case, urging the
ICJ to state that Israel is in violation of its obligations under the 1948
Genocide Convention.
