Spain applies to join South African case at UN court accusing Israel of genocide

Spain is to ask a United Nations court for permission to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, its foreign minister has announced.

Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Libya and the Palestinians have already requested to join the case being heard at the court in The Hague, Netherlands. “We want peace to return to Gaza and the Middle East, and for that to happen we must all support the court.” Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognised a Palestinian state on May 28 in a co-ordinated effort by the three western European nations to add international pressure on Israel.

While Mr Sanchez has denounced the attacks by Hamas and joined demands for the return of the remaining Israeli hostages, he has not shied away from the diplomatic backlash from Israel. Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz said that by recognising a Palestinian state, Mr Sanchez’s government was “being complicit in inciting genocide against Jews and war crimes”.
