Spain Joins South Africa's Genocide Case Against Israel at ICJ

Spain has become the first European country to seek permission to join South Africa's case at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. The case, filed last year, alleges Israel's military actions in Gaza violate the genocide convention. Spain's move aims to pressure Israel to comply with the court's interim measures to halt military operations in Rafah. Other countries, including Mexico and Libya, are also awaiting approval to join the case. The court's final decision is expected to take years.
