Namibia Condemns Germany's Support for Israel in ICJ Genocide Case
President Geingob Urges Germany to Reconsider, Citing Its Own History of Genocide in Namibia
- Namibia has criticized Germany for supporting Israel in the genocide case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
- President Hage Geingob of Namibia urged Germany to reconsider its decision to intervene on Israel's behalf, citing Germany's own history of genocide in Namibia in the early 20th century.
- The case at the ICJ is centered around the ongoing war in Gaza, where Israel's retaliatory attacks have reportedly killed nearly 24,000 people, mostly children and women.
- South Africa's case accuses Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, an allegation that Israel has strongly rejected.
- The ICJ is expected to present a provisional measure soon, but a final verdict will take years.
