“Turkey has decided to seek to join in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the ICJ,” Hakan Fidan told a joint news conference alongside his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi.
During a meeting in the capital Ankara, the two discussed Palestine and the situation in Gaza, among other subjects.
“With this step, we hope that the process in front of the ICJ will progress in the right direction,” Fidan added.
Stating that Turkey’s efforts on its application have been ongoing for “a very long time,” Fidan said Ankara will soon complete its legal work on the case.
“Meanwhile, we will continue to work with all friendly and allied countries on what more can be done on this issue and which countries can further apply,” he added.
Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
