Cuba joins South Africa’s genocide lawsuit against Israel

Havana, SANA-Cuba has decided to join South Africa’s lawsuit at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The move aims at “stopping the atrocities against the Palestinian people as a result of Israel’s disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force,” said the Cuban Foreign Ministry.

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement expressing its “unwavering and sustained commitment to supporting and contributing as much as possible to legitimate international efforts to put an end to the genocide committed against the Palestinian people.”

“Israel, with total impunity, protected by the complicity of the US government, ignores its obligations as an Occupying Power under the Fourth Geneva Convention,” the ministry said. “Justice and respect for the UN Charter and international law must prevail.”
