Palestine Seeks to Join South Africa's Genocide Case Against Israel at UN Court

Palestinian officials claim Israel's military actions in Gaza constitute systematic efforts to erase Palestinian society.

Palestinian Authority has formally requested to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
The request alleges Israel's ongoing military operations aim to destroy Palestinian cultural and social institutions.
Israel denies the genocide accusations, asserting its military actions target Hamas following the October 7 attacks.
The court has previously ordered Israel to prevent deaths and increase humanitarian aid in Gaza.
If accepted, Palestinian officials will present their case in writing and during public hearings at the UN court.
