Colombia to Join Genocide Lawsuit Against Israel

The International Court of Justice revealed that Colombia has requested its involvement in the South Africa case, accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

In its plea, Colombia urged the court to ensure "the safety and presence of the Palestinian people."

The International Court of Justice, the highest court under the United Nations, allows countries to intervene and express their opinions.

Several nations have expressed their intent to intervene in the case, but so far, only Colombia and Nicaragua have publicly submitted requests.

Last week, judges of the International Court of Justice instructed Israel to take all necessary and effective measures to ensure the timely delivery of essential food supplies to Palestinians in Gaza.

In January, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could constitute genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Israel was also mandated to ensure its forces refrain from committing acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel denies targeting Palestinian civilians, stating its sole objective is to eliminate the Islamic resistance movement, Hamas.

Israeli lawyers have rejected the South Africa case, describing it as an exploitation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
