Trial process against Israel in the International Court of Justice - info

Today, January 11th, the trial process against Israel has begun in the International Court of Justice, one of the organs of the United Nations (UN). South Africa took Israel to court for committing a genocide in Gaza, the death toll of which has exceeded 23,400 dead since the counteroffensive of October 7 in Gaza and another hundreds in occupied West Bank. At the same time, the security council of the UN is telling the Ansar Allah to stop the actions against imperialist ships on the Red Sea, actions, which it is carrying in support of the Palestinian national resistance.

While Israel rejects the accusation of genocide and qualifies it “atrocious and absurd”, it says it does not intend to “occupy Gaza permanently” or “displace its civilian population” and denies the famine in Gaza because there is “enough community aid.” But today ground attacks have been reported in the central and southern zone of Gaza, killing dozens of people according to Gaza’s Minister of Health while the health system continues to be collapsed. In addition, the displaced already sum 2.3 million people, 85% of the population of Gaza while attacks against the Palestinian population by Israeli illegal settlements intensify, as we report in our previous article, as well as its violence against the Palestinian people. Israel has again targeted an ambulance, killing at least four, among them medical personnel. On October 9 it was reported that the settlers had killed a Palestinian teenager while the Israeli forces allowed it in occupied Bank. Previously, the city where the settlers attacked had been threatened by social networks with the message “to all rats in the sewers of the village of Qusra we are waiting for them and we will not have mercy. Revenge Day is approaching.”

During the declaration of South Africa against Israel in the International Court of Justice, a hundred people have gathered to demonstrate in favor of Palestine, calling the state of Israel genocidal.
