Al-Azhar Declares Full Support For South Africa’s Case Against Israel At International Court of Justice (ICJ)

Al-Azhar affirmed in a statement on their Facebook account that South Africa’s stance reflects the will of the free world and the living human conscience that rejects scenes of murder, destruction, innocent bloodshed, massacres, and atrocities committed by what it referred to as “the Zionist entity” against the innocent Palestinians.

The ICJ began its two days of hearings on 11 January in The Hague in response to an emergency request by South Africa in the form of an 84-page application accusing Israel of committing genocidal acts in Gaza against the Palestinian people.

South Africa argued that Israel committing these acts is an intention to destroy Palestinians at the strip.

The statement expressed deep gratitude to South Africa’s legal team, including the legal committee to the ICJ, led by Counselor Ronald Lamola, the South African Minister of Justice.
The statement added “The committee’s statements on Thursday before the court strongly express our sentiments and those of the free world in rejecting the horrific violations and monstrous crimes committed by the occupation against the isolated, innocent, and vulnerable people of Gaza,”

Al-Azhar added that the statements of the South African legal team reaffirmed the clear violation of the Genocide Convention signed by Israel, therefore, demonstrating the entity’s blatant and outright violation of the treaty’s provisions and its founding principles.
