Palestinian Foreign Ministry: Israel underestimates convening of ICJ, commits more massacres in Gaza

Arab Newsfeature

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry on Saturday said that Israel underestimates the convening of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and continues to commit more massacres against Palestinian people in Gaza.

In a statement, the ministry said that Israel’s persistence in its devastating war against the Palestinians in Gaza is clear evidence of its insistence on not to respect all international appeals and demands to protect innocent civilians, bring humanitarian aid into the Strip and allow the displaced individuals to return to the northern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA News Agency.

The ministry said that the continuation of committing war crimes by Israeli occupation forces for the 99th day in a row constitutes a disregard for any procedures or legal decisions that the court may resort to.

The ministry also condemned the acts of violence and war crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces and colonial settlers, and the settlements expansion in the occupied West Bank, including occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Moreover, the ministry expressed deep dismay at Germany’s decision to speak on behalf of “Israel” at the proceedings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is considering Israel’s war of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip in a case brought before it by South Africa.

“We are deeply dismayed by the position of the German government regarding the case brought by South Africa before the ICJ as expressed in a statement issued today by the government’s spokesperson,” said the ministry.

“This position reminds us of a similar past approach to cases relating to Palestine brought before international courts, such as Germany’s position regarding the ICJ’s advisory opinion on Israel’s separation wall in 2004, or its position regarding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) jurisdiction over the State of Palestine in 2021.
