Cuba has announced its decision to join South Africa’s legal action at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concerning Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. In a statement released on Friday, the Cuban Foreign Ministry confirmed their participation in the case.
The primary objective of this move is to “halt the atrocities against the Palestinian people caused by Israel’s disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force,” the statement declared.
On December 29, 2023, South Africa initiated legal proceedings against Israel at the ICJ, citing violations of the 1948 Genocide Convention regarding Palestinians in Gaza. Following South Africa’s lead, other countries, including Chile and Spain, have also joined the lawsuit against Israel.
