On charges of genocide and violation of the UN Convention against Genocide, South Africa has filed a lawsuit against the Zionist entity.

The invitation, which was submitted after more than 84 days of continuous Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, included:

The text of the request stated that “(Israel) has caused serious and irreparable harm to the rights of the Palestinian people and has engaged, is engaging, and risks further engaging in acts of genocide against the Palestinian people.”

This is the first time since the establishment of “Israel” that a state has filed a lawsuit against it, in its capacity as a state, in the International Court of Justice. Previous international legal moves had a ceiling of obtaining an advisory opinion from the International Court, as was the case in 2004 when the United Nations referred the issue of the wall to the International Court.

It is worth noting that the procedure differs in essence from the cases brought before the International Criminal Court, which are usually brought by states, individuals and institutions against political and military officials in other states in their personal capacity and not as a “state.”

This procedure is usually entrusted to the decision of the court’s public prosecutor to open investigation files and proceed with them, which did not happen in the case of Palestine, despite the submission of many reports against Israelis and the opening of an investigation. However, these reports have not yet been moved forward, as the court is subject to political considerations of the first degree.
