GAZA: The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has praised Turkiye’s decision to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
In a statement, Hamas declared, “This move reflects President Erdogan’s and the Turkish people’s support for our national cause and the rights of the Palestinian people, who have endured a brutal war of extermination for over ten months.”
Turkiye on Wednesday officially joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking to address allegations of genocide related to Israel’s military actions against Palestinians in Gaza.
The announcement was made as a Turkish parliamentary delegation, accompanied by the Turkish ambassador to the Netherlands, filed a “declaration of intervention” at the ICJ headquarters in The Hague.
Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Oncu Keceli emphasized the significance of the case, stating in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that it is crucial to ensure that crimes committed by Israel are addressed and do not go unpunished.
