According to Agence France-Presse on February 13, South Africa announced on the 13th that it had filed a new complaint with the International Court of Justice, asking the International Court of Justice to urgently review Israel's announcement of an imminent military attack on Rafah and, if necessary, oppose "new violations".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently ordered the army to prepare for an attack on Rafah, the report said. According to the United Nations, Rafah is the last refuge for 1.4 million Palestinians, more than half of the entire population of the Gaza Strip.
The report also said that South Africa** issued a statement saying that it had filed an urgent complaint with the International Court of Justice in The Hague on the 13th.
Earlier, South Africa filed a complaint with the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza. The judges have not yet ruled on whether Israel has actually committed genocide, but they have ordered Israel to prevent such acts.
In its new application, South Africa noted that "there has been a significant evolution in the situation in Gaza that requires urgent attention from the Court" and expressed "deep concern" that the Israeli military offensive in Rafah would cause new "harm and massive destruction".
South Africa** argues that this would be a "grave and irreparable breach of the Genocide Convention".
"Given the daily death toll in Gaza, South Africa is confident that the matter will be addressed with the necessary urgency," it added. ”
On the evening of the 13th, the International Court of Justice released South Africa's application for litigation on the social ** platform X. (Compiled by Zhao Kexin).
