(The Guardian) Organization of Islamic Cooperation hails South Africa's decision to launch case with ICJ against Israel on 'genocidal' acts in Gaza
The Organization for Islamic Cooperation has “welcomed” South Africa’s decision to launch a case at the International Court of Justice in which it accuses Israel of carrying out “genocidal” acts across Gaza.
According to Qatari news agency QNA, the 57-member OIC, which Qatar is a part of, stressed that Israel is “committing a genocide by its indiscriminate targeting of civilian population … forcibly displacing them, preventing them from obtaining basic needs and humanitarian aid, and destroying buildings and health, educational and religious facilities”.
It added that the OIC called on the International Court of Justice to “respond swiftly and take urgent measures to put an end to the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied Palestinian territory”.
South Africa’s decision to file a case against Israel earlier this week comes as Israeli strikes have killed more than 21,600 Palestinians across the densely populated Gaza strip – which human rights organizations have described as an “open-air prison” – since 7 October.
