Madrid (Union)
Yesterday, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez announced that his country had joined the lawsuit filed by South Africa before the International Court of Justice in The Hague against Israel within the framework of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Albarez said in a press conference at the Foreign Ministry headquarters in the Spanish capital, “Spain is taking this step until peace returns to Gaza and the Middle East,” pointing out the need to support the court and respect its precautionary measures.
He added, “Spain based its decision on the basis of the ongoing military operations in Rafah, the obstacles hindering humanitarian aid, and the destruction of infrastructure in the Palestinian territories.”
