US defends Israel in new ICJ intervention in South Africa genocide case

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-defends-israel-new-icj-interventions-south-africa-genocide-case

The United States has filed a declaration of intervention in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), explicitly rejecting the allegation that the country is committing genocide in Gaza.

The filing was made on Thursday alongside separate interventions by Namibia, Hungary and Fiji, according to a press release issued by the court on Friday.

All four states submitted declarations under Article 63 of the ICJ statute, which allows countries that are parties to a treaty under dispute to intervene in order to present their interpretation of that treaty.

South Africa has done nothing to stop their weapons from flowing to Israel unofficially, through third parties, despite officially banning it. Blatantly a charade

I talked about the icj not south africa. The process is so ridiculous when we know how obvious this genocide is
