Spain has become the first European country to ask to join the genocide case against Israel
Spain on Thursday became the first European country to ask the United Nations Criminal Court for permission to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.
South Africa took its case to the International Court of Justice late last year. Claimed that Israel was in violation of the genocide treaty fhis military attack which has destroyed large areas of Gaza.
The court ordered Israel to immediately stop its military offensive on the southern city Rafa, but he did not order a ceasefire for all of Gaza. Israel has not complied.
“We take the decision because of the ongoing military operation in Gaza,” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said in Madrid. “We want peace to return to Gaza and the Middle East and for that to happen we must all support the court.”
Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Libya and the Palestinians are waiting for the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, to approve their requests to join the case.
