Cuba joins South Africa’s legal action against Israel at ICJ
Cuba has officially announced its decision to join South Africa in pursuing legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip. The Cuban Foreign Ministry released a statement on Friday confirming their participation in the case, with the primary goal of halting the atrocities being committed against the Palestinian people due to Israel’s use of disproportionate and indiscriminate force.
The legal proceedings were initiated by South Africa on December 29, 2023, citing violations of the 1948 Genocide Convention in relation to Palestinians in Gaza. In response to South Africa’s actions, other countries such as Chile and Spain have also joined the lawsuit against Israel.
