Ireland to Intervene in ICJ Genocide Case Against Israel

The intervention aims to prioritize civilian protection amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Ireland announces its intention to intervene in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The intervention aims to prioritize the protection of civilians without declaring Israel as committing genocide, a determination left to the court.
Since the start of Israel's military offensive in Gaza, over 30,000 people have been killed and 70,000 injured, with a significant portion of the population facing starvation.
Ireland's Foreign Minister Micheal Martin emphasizes the urgent need for humanitarian aid in Gaza, echoing the UN Secretary General's call for a surge in life-saving assistance.
The final ruling in the ICJ case could take years, marking Ireland's fourth involvement in cases before the court.
