Ireland to Intervene in South Africa's Genocide Case Against Israel at World Court

ai generated text

Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister, Micheal Martin, has secured cabinet approval for Ireland to intervene in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. This decision follows South Africa's request in December for an urgent order declaring Israel guilty of genocide.

    1. By legally intervening in South Africa's case, Ireland will be asking the ICJ to broaden its interpretation of what constitutes the commission of genocide.
    2. There has been a collective punishment of the Palestinian people through the intent and impact of military actions of Israel in Gaza, leaving 44,000 dead and millions of civilians displaced.
    3. The taking of hostages. The purposeful withholding of humanitarian assistance to civilians. The targeting of civilians and of civilian infrastructure. The indiscriminate use of explosive weapons in populated areas. The use of civilian objects for military purposes. The collective punishment of an entire population.
    4. The list goes on. It has to stop. The view of the international community is clear. Enough is enough.
    1. Ireland has crossed every red line in its relations with Israel.
