SAEDNEWS: Turkey plans to file an application with the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) to join South Africa’s lawsuit against Israel, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said after visiting Egypt.
According to SAEDNEWS, "We will submit to the International Court of Justice our dossier on Israel on Wednesday so that we could participate in the trial," the Turkish foreign ministry quoted him as saying on its X account.
The top Turkish diplomat accused the Israeli regime of attempting to spread the Gaza conflict throughout the entire region.
"[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu doesn’t want peace. He wants to proliferate violence in Gaza throughout the entire region."
He further warned that the actions of the Netanyahu cabinet pose a danger to the world, asserting that if these actions are not halted, the entire globe will face severe consequences.
"Those who support Israel are responsible for what is going on. Netanyahu’s place is not in parliament but in the dock," Fidan stressed, as reported by TASS.
Turkey has requested permission from the court in The Hague to partake in the trial. On July 30, Turkish Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc announced that Ankara had prepared the relevant document. Turkey has held Israel accountable for committing crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip and is demanding that the Netanyahu cabinet be held responsible.
