The Hague [Netherlands], September 21 (ANI): Brazil has formally joined the case initiated by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which accuses Israel of committing 'genocide' in the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported. According to Al Jazeera, Brazil used this clause to affirm that Israel is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention. The ICJ said that South Africa and Israel are now invited to 'furnish written observations on the declaration of intervention.' Brazil now joins Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Turkiye and others who have aligned with South Africa in the case against Israel, where more than 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed since October 2023, according to Al Jazeera. Washington has rejected the ICJ case outright, and US legislators have threatened and criticised South Africa.
