Hamas welcomes Ireland’s decision to join ICJ genocide case against Israel

Hamas has expressed approval of Ireland’s recent decision, as reported by the Lebanese Al-Manar TV on Thursday. The group has also urged other nations to consider participating in similar actions.

The movement has called upon nations worldwide to escalate pressure on Israel to halt its aggressive actions against the Palestinian population.

The statement urged all nations to partake in the International Court of Justice’s genocide lawsuit against the Israeli government, initiated by South Africa.

In December 2023, South Africa formally presented a case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

On May 4, the United Nations Court issued a directive mandating a cessation of Israeli military activities in Rafah, located in southern Gaza, following a complaint lodged by South Africa. Despite this legal intervention, Israel persisted with its military campaign, seemingly dismissing the court’s ruling.

Nicaragua, Belgium, Colombia, Turkiye, Libya, Egypt, the Maldives, Mexico, Chile, Palestine, and Spain have either joined or indicated their intention to participate in South Africa’s legal action against Israel.
